Join our community of music-loving students to grow musically, develop friendships, and have a blast fostering a life-long love of music!

ORCHESTRATING A LOVE OF MUSIC,
ONE NOTE AT A TIME

Since 1982 the Detroit Metropolitan Youth Symphony has developed students from nearly 50 communities in its four orchestras.  Our mission is to provide an advanced youth ensemble experience that is challenging and fun, stimulates musical development, and supplements the school program.  We have weekly Saturday morning rehearsals September through May at The Hawk (Farmington Hills), and perform three Sunday afternoon concerts each season at The Hawk and other venues across metropolitan Detroit.  

We are the Detroit Metropolitan Youth Symphony and we are unique:

  • Students who grow exponentially each year in music and friendships

  • Professional Conducting Team who knows exactly how to pull the best performance from our students

  • College-aged pre-professional mentors who rehearse with and develop our students, and guide sectionals

  • Parent volunteers and board members who provide support and guidance

  • Donors who are passionate supporters of kids and music

  • FUN - we are unique because not only do we have accomplished musicians, talented conductors and exceptional music, but we have FUN creating a life-long passion for music
