About Music Education
Mission Statement
Santa Rosa Symphony Youth Ensembles’ mission is to offer young musicians an exceptional educational experience by providing the finest quality orchestral training and performance opportunities in Sonoma County. Our goal is for young musicians to develop an awareness and appreciation of great music in the context of learning responsibility and teamwork, while they participate in our community through public
performance. Students can begin instruments as young as five years old at our Summer Music Academy, and remain in our training programs as they excel, into their first years of college.
Vision Statement
Santa Rosa Symphony’s vision is to create one of the nation’s leading regional symphony orchestras, recognized as a model of artistic vibrancy, educational leadership, fiscal vitality, and community engagement.
Practice-a-Thon 2025-26!

"Good Times Over A Ground (Bass)" is the thematic title of YPCO`s fall concert this Sunday Nov 23 at 3pm at @thephoenixtheater Petaluma.
Many of these string players are also members of SRSYO and some AYO and they`ve been busy diligently preparing all their music!
The program features works with a connected theme of important bass lines, from baroque and classical works to contemporary string quartets—and even a Disco arrangement 🪩🕺
Come hear Henry Purcell, Arvo Pärt, W.A. Mozart, Pēteris Vasks, J.S. Bach, and CHIC all in one program!
