The Youth Symphony of Kansas City was founded as The Youth Symphony of the Heart
of America by Leo Scheer consisting of an orchestra of 80 musicians, 22 and
younger. Incorporated in 1958, YSKC has enjoyed a vibrant history as the musical
home to students in Kansas City.

Today, YSKC is the top youth orchestra in Kansas City that serves more than 300
musicians in grades 5–12. It comprises four full orchestras, a preparatory
strings ensemble, a chamber music program, academy classes, a summer micro-camp,
multiple ancillary programs, and a new Opus 76 String Quartet Residency. Every
opportunity provides quality music education experiences to young musicians
representing 111 schools and 57 communities across the region, including Kansas
and Missouri.


EDUCATING AND INSPIRING YOUNG MUSICIANS

Throughout its 65 years of programming, Youth Symphony of Kansas City has built
an alumni class of more than 11,000; completed international tours to Austria,
Canada, Germany, Ireland, Italy and Spain; performed at numerous prestigious
festivals and conferences nationwide, including Carnegie Hall; and performed
several world premieres of commissioned works. With each performance, the Youth
Symphony seeks to educate and inspire our young musicians everywhere through
meaningful and enriching musical experiences.

Our Mission & History





OUR PROGRAMS

Youth Symphony of Kansas City is made up of four large ensembles: our Symphony,
Repertory, Philharmonic and Debut Orchestras. Students are placed in ensembles
based on their age and a recorded audition.

In addition to our large ensembles, YSKC offers students the opportunity to join
chamber ensembles (such as a string quartet or a wind quintet), participate in
chamber orchestra, perform as part of our solo and ensemble showcase
performances and take elective courses, all through our year-round chamber
program, YSKC Academy.

The YSKC Touring Orchestra is made up of 117 students from the organization’s
two advanced full orchestras, Symphony and Repertory Orchestra. Previous tours
have included international performances in Austria, Canada, Germany, Ireland,
Italy, and Spain. In June of 2023, YSKC’s Touring Orchestra performed as part of
the Viennese Invitational at Carnegie Hall in New York City.
