\n\nOUR HISTORY\nBYSO has been privileged to serve the youth of Boston through excell ent music making since 1958. Over the course of its 60-year history\, BYSO has stretched itself to actively participate in the local\, regional\, an d global narrative. As the first independent youth orchestra in Massachuse tts\, BYSO is an established leader in orchestral music education and perf ormance. Recognized nationally as a model program\, BYSO has taken its orc hestras around the world\, performing in 15 different countries and on 6 c ontinents. Among its 19 international tours\, it has collaborated with UNI CEF to bring concerts to children in South America\, communicated a messag e of peace and hope to Israel in the days following the War of 1967\, and performed for newly reunited Berlin after the destruction of the Berlin Wa ll. The founding of its Intensive Community Program in 1998 expanded the i mpact of BYSO to underserved and socioeconomically disadvantaged communiti es in Greater Boston. The partnership it formed in 2021 with the Boston Pu blic Schools has placed BYSO at the forefront of an emerging branch of mus ic education\, where music therapy\, instrument training\, and special edu cation intersect. Demonstrated through its many progressive and influentia l programs\, BYSO&rsquo\;s reputation as an inviting music education organ ization with high standards and proven teaching practices directly stems f rom its focus on the success of every child in its orchestras. Teaching a lifestyle of excellence and service through the power of music is its goal &ndash\; and always will be.
