Hi! I’m Kathryn, an Operations Assistant here at Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestras, and I’d like to welcome you to the new CYSO blog!

As you can see, it’s been a little while since our last update, but that doesn’t mean we’ve just been sitting around sight reading through Beethoven (even though that’s a great way to spend some time). We’ve been up to some awesome stuff and every week I’ll keep you up to speed, so keep coming back to hang out with us here at cyso.org. 

What will you see on your return visits? Not only are we going to let you have an inside peek into what’s happening with CYSO, but we hope to become a valuable resource for you. If you’re a student you will be able to use the blog to stay connected with articles, videos, or interviews that we believe will help you as you grow in your artistic development. If you are one of our many alumni, we want you to use this space to stay connected with us and to help us stay connected with you. If you are involved in music on any level, or just an appreciator, we hope this blog will enrich your perspective on what young musicians are up to these days – “classical” music is far from “dying,” as you’ll see.

Also, we’re all about encouraging a larger community conversation, so be sure to leave comments! No orchestra is an island! (Though, we wouldn’t mind going to an island right about now...it’s coldcoldcoldcoldcoldcoldcold in Chicagoland and I still haven’t figured out a way to only walk the North/South streets to avoid the blast of cold air off Lake Michigan on streets facing East/West...anyone have tips?)

See you again soon!
