Hawaii Youth Symphony – Making Music a Right, Not a Privilege, for Hawaii's Youth

MAKING MUSIC IS A RIGHT, NOT A PRIVILEGE

The HYS’ mission is to help youth develop to their fullest potential through orchestral music, in the setting of our Islands' unique culture.

HYS welcomes students ages 7-18 from all islands, and beyond.

From beginning classes to our top Youth Symphony I orchestra, HYS offers a wide range of music making opportunities.

Explore activities by summer season and academic season; we are active all 12 months of the year.

HYS is just part of a richly musical community. Learn about our partners, who also make Hawaii home.
