Hyde Park Youth Symphony

Mission

The Hyde Park Youth Symphony brings together diverse students from the south side of Chicago and beyond to provide a high-quality orchestral performance experience and education as a training ground for the next generation of performers, educators, and advocates of music and the arts.

Vision

We reach for performance excellence through personal commitment and group effort, supported by our families and communities. We draw strength from our commitment to equity, inclusion and diversity, and our local South Side focus. We insist on a culture of respect for one another, sharing responsibility for maintaining a learning and performance environment conducive to artistic creation and growth.
