SRS Education

The Santa Rosa Symphony is committed to core values of artistic excellence, innovative programing, comprehensive music education and community service. The Symphony is recognized for having one of the most comprehensive music education programs in California, serving nearly 30,000 youths annually. This includes five youth ensembles: String Orchestra Workshop; Debut Youth Orchestra; Aspirante Youth Orchestra; Young People’s Chamber Orchestra; and the Santa Rosa Symphony Youth Orchestra.  

During Shelter-in-Place, we adjusted our rehearsal and performance schedules and adapted new modes of instruction, learning and performance. Our priorities for the semester were to continue music-making, instruction and inspiration while also providing a way to keep the youth orchestra communities together. On our channel here you can find some of the results of our virtual season highlighting the hard work of our young musicians. Enjoy!
