Spring Concert at Mesa Arts Center, Ikeda Theater

Metropolitan Youth Symphony (MYS) is celebrating 30 years of music with our final concert of the season on Tuesday, May 1, 2012. MYS began in 1982 with just 150 members in one full symphony and two string orchestras. Our membership has grown to over 330 members participating in one full symphony and three string orchestras. Our mission is to educate young instrumental musicians through the 9th grade in the art of orchestral performance through the use of the world’s finest orchestral music to develop character, discipline, leadership, cultural awareness, and a strong commitment to excellence; thus enabling MYS to contribute to the East Valley’s rich cultural heritage and create a higher level of appreciation for the performing arts.
