The Anchorage Youth Symphony is composed of high school age students in the community in and around Anchorage, Alaska.  Membership in the group is by annual audition. There are about 85 members in the orchestra. We are organized as a non-profit organization led by a Board of Directors. Staff includes the Music Director/Conductor and General Manager.

Programs
We plan three large symphonic concerts per year in the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts (ACPA). In addition, we plan cultural exchanges with rural Alaskan students.

Anchorage Youth Symphony is supported in part
by a grant from the Alaska State Council on the Arts and the Municipality of Anchorage.
