The Halton Youth Symphony

The Halton Youth Symphony (HYS) is a registered charitable organization (#118951359 RC) that offers young musicians the opportunity to develop their musicianship with orchestral experience.

The HYS consists of approximately 94 musicians in two orchestras. The younger orchestra, the Halton Youth Chamber Orchestra (HYCO), includes musicians from 9 to 14 years of age playing violin, viola or cello. Our senior orchestra, the Halton Youth Symphony Orchestra (HYSO), includes mostly high-school age musicians playing a full range of orchestral instruments.

Both orchestras attend a weekend retreat early in the fall, rehearse weekly between September and May, and perform at least three public concerts yearly. Musicians also perform in smaller groups at community functions.

The HYS welcome musicians from Oakville, Burlington, Milton, Halton Hills and other neighbouring municipalities. For more information about the Halton Youth Symphony, please contact our Manager at manager@haltonyouthsymphony.com or 905-616-2760.
