The Santa Clarita Valley Youth Orchestra (SCVYO) rehearses and performs at the College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita California, providing an instrumental education program for students eight years old and above, regardless of ability to pay. SCVYO is one of the few orchestral music programs available in the Los Angeles area that allows students to study and perform masterpieces from all periods of the orchestral and chamber music repertoire.

     We envision the SCVYO as a gathering of talented youth who, through exposure to expert tutelage, musical knowledge, and ethnic diversity acquire a love of beauty, learn to pursue excellence, demonstrate personal growth as musicians, and enrich the cultural life of our community.
