The Phoenix Youth Orchestra

Membership Fee: $430

Conducted by: Benjamin Rous

The Phoenix Youth Symphony is the most advanced group in the PYS Orchestral Training Program. Accepted by audition, members are experienced, exceptionally talented, dedicated high school student musicians. The Youth Symphony requires personal commitment and ensemble skills; individual preparation and progress are expected and recognized through periodic chair auditions and Principal solos. PYS performs professional orchestral repertoire in PYS concerts and for over 10,000 students annually through Music Memory at Phoenix Symphony Hall. A unique opportunity for members of PYS is rehearsing and performing “side-by-side” with The Phoenix Symphony. In previous years the Phoenix Youth Symphony has performed throughout Arizona, in Carnegie Hall, and in Germany, France, New Zealand, Central Europe, British Isles, China and Italy.

BenRous Benjamin Rous joins the Phoenix Youth Symphony this season, and began his tenure as Assistant Conductor of The Phoenix Symphony in 2008.
