Due to the effects of COVID-19, AYS is following the recommendations of public health agencies, and we have cancelled our spring 2020 concerts.
We will be presenting our virtual gala on Thursday, May 7th at 4pm PST/7pm ET.
Updates and notices about AYS programming will be available here, sent via email and posted on social media.
The gala is a critically important fundraiser for AYS, and online activities are being developed to ensure the continued financial stability of the organization. AYS has a strong 55-year history of providing training and music throughout the community, and will continue through this difficult time to persevere and provide vibrant arts programming for decades to come.
Previous AYS concerts can be enjoyed on SoundCloud and YouTube.
While this is a difficult and unpredictable time for all, the American Youth Symphony must put the safety and health of its patrons, artists, staff, visitors, and supporters before anything else.
