What Our Parents and Students Are Saying
Affordable & Accessible
Eligibility: SVYO is open to musicians who will be 19 years of age or younger as of the start of the 2025–26 season.
We believe every young musician should have the opportunity to grow through orchestral music — without financial barriers. That’s why all accepted students receive a $250 SVYO Merit Scholarship, reducing annual tuition to just $500 for our full-year program.
This includes:
-
Weekly rehearsals
-
Three public concerts
-
A 2025–26 season performance t-shirt
Flexible payment plans are available, with additional savings for families who pay in full.
