Why Join SBYSO?

The South Bend Youth Symphony Orchestra is a community where young musicians grow together, challenge themselves and discover the joy of performing at the highest level. Our alumni carry with them not only musical skills but lifelong friendships, confidence and a deeper appreciation for the arts.

Through these video spotlights, alumni share what their time in the orchestra means to them, how it shaped their lives and why they believe today’s young musicians should take the leap and join SBYSO.
