The Cleveland Youth Symphony (CYWS) was founded
in 1989 with the purpose of providing a musical venue
for the most outstanding high school woodwind, brass,
and percussion musicians throughout Northeast Ohio. The
mission of the group is to perform the most significant
symphonic band and wind ensemble literature and to
provide the opportunity for outstanding young musicians
to rehearse and perform together on a weekly basis.
The organization is sponsored by Case and the Cleveland
Institute of Music. The ensemble rehearses weekly from
mid-September through early May. In June of 2005, the
group will be taking their 5th International Concert
tour to Scotland and England.
As a result of the large number of students auditioning
for CYWS, a second group was established in the 1995-96
season. The groups are divided by musical and technical
maturity.
