Katy Youth Symphony
Empowering Young Musicians in Katy & West Houston
​
Katy has been recognized as one of the fastest growing communities in the nation and as a hub for music education. The Katy Youth Symphony, KatyYS, is a natural outgrowth of this vibrant and growing community. The Katy Youth Symphony is committed to bring our children together to learn, grow, play, and serve close to home where friends and family can support and enjoy their performances and grow in civic pride and music appreciation.
Students,grades 4-12 with 2+ years of experience, in the West Houston area whether from public, private, or home based school environments are welcome to register. A minimum of 2-years experience is recommended on your string instrument. Students are strongly encouraged to take private lessons and participate in their public school orchestra for a minimum of 2 semesters during the current school year if an orchestra is available in their school district.

Our Orchestras
At Katy Youth Symphony, we offer two exciting orchestra levels to fit the needs of young musicians at different stages of their musical journey. Our Philharmonic Orchestra is perfect for late beginners to intermediate players, helping them build their skills and confidence through fun and engaging ensemble experiences. For more advanced musicians, the Chamber Orchestra provides a challenging environment to refine technique and perform more complex repertoire.
​
In addition, our Ambassadors of Katy program selects top musicians from both orchestras to represent Katy Youth Symphony at special community performances and outreach events. Ambassadors serve as leaders, showcasing their talent and inspiring others through their dedication to music and service to the community.
