Junior Symphony Orchestra is an advanced, full symphonic orchestra composed of approximately 100 players of excellent technical and musical ability. Students in the Junior Symphony Orchestra typically feed into the Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestra.
Debut Symphony Orchestra is SYSO's largest and is the training orchestra for SYSO's intermediate-level players. Students in the Debut Symphony Orchestra typically advance to the Junior Symphony Orchestra.
Symphonette Orchestras serves as a wonderful arena for younger, less-experienced musicians to gain valuable performance experience. The repertoire is varied and serves as an introduction to orchestral technique and style. Students in the Symphonette Orchestra typically advance to the Debut Symphony Orchestra.
