The Santa Clarita Valley Youth Orchestra took California’s Disneyland and New York’s legendary Carnegie Hall by storm; now they are home!  Experience the thrill of brilliance once again as our talented young musicians who captivated audiences on the East and West coasts, return for a breathtaking performance not to be missed! 

Culminating this innovative season, the multi-tiered ensembles of the SCVYO will present an exhilarating performance taking the stage at Canyon High School Performing Arts Center on May 19^th at 2pm.  Tickets are available on-line and at the door.  General admission is $25, with discounts for students and seniors.  Children under 5 are free!  Reduced Family Pack is also available.

Fresh off their Carnegie Hall debut, Novae Sinfonia, the pre-conservatory advanced ensemble of SCVYO, brings their rousing excitement and talent-beyond-their-years to the stage.  At this performance you will hear our students chanting traditional Indian Solkattu rhythms, Afro-Cuban clave rhythms and free-improvising bird calls over electric guitar distortion featured in the local premiere of “Seasons of Santa Clarita”, composed by our Interdisciplinary Chamber Ensemble students.

Also taking the stage are members of the Symphony Orchestra and Prelude Ensemble, showcased this season at an invitation-only performance at Disneyland.  Symphony performs works by Beethoven, Bizet, and Handel.  Preludes presents pieces by Bach, Newbold, and Zein. 

Novae Sinfonia and Symphony combine to close out the show with “The Legend of Zelda: Dungeon Theme Medley” from the acclaimed Nintendo video game franchise.

Rachel Iba, SCVYO Artistic Director says, “We pride ourselves on having one of the most musically adventurous youth orchestra programs in the country! This stylistic diversity is a very intentional metaphor for the world we hope to encourage our students to cultivate; one in which different cultures and traditions will not just co-exist; but thrive together harmoniously.”
