Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphonies (“GTCYS”) is a program designed to inspire the orchestral experience for young musicians (ages 8-18) with a conviction that music nourishes the mind, body, and spirit. GTCYS has 10 different orchestras for kids of every proficiency level.
GTCYS concerts
Many concerts are free and family friendly and are performed at different locations around the Twin Cities. Find the full schedule on the GTCYS website or watch for them on our Family Fun Calendar. They also recommend Subscribing to their YouTube channel and turning on notifications so that you get notified when the video performance premieres – a fun way to see concerts in your living room.
