Welcome to Wabash Valley Youth Symphony!
The mission of WVYS is to provide a high-quality musical experience for qualified young musicians and to give them an opportunity to perform. This experience will be enriching and beneficial to the community at large.
WVYS seeks to provide Greater Lafayette with a much-needed resource. Despite an abundance of musically talented youth, there is little opportunity for orchestral or ensemble playing outside the realm of public schools. In fact, some local schools do not offer an orchestral program for students. The WVYS will provide opportunity, both for those who play in a school orchestra but want to explore a repertoire that is more demanding and fulfilling, and for those whose schools are currently without an orchestra. The Wabash Valley Youth Symphony offers this community the chance to fully nurture and enjoy the musical talents of its youth.
General Information
The Wabash Valley Youth Symphony is open, by audition, to students in 6th through 12th grade. All orchestral instrumentalists are welcome to call for information or to set up an audition. Auditions are held in late summer or early fall, though sometimes we accept new members in the middle of the year if it is early enough in the set of rehearsals. There is a yearly registration fee of $25. Read more...
