High Plains Youth Symphony and Sinfonietta

Youth Symphony Orchestra – Boulder and Denver Areas

The High Plains Youth Symphony (HPYS) was formed in September 2006 to support technically advanced, and musically mature orchestral musicians. Founded by individuals affiliated with the Boulder Philharmonic, the University of Colorado School of Music, and Boulder Suzuki Strings, this dynamic, fast paced, orchestral training program challenges individual musical development through the performance of masterpiece orchestral and operatic repertoire. The supportive and nurturing learning atmosphere inspires deep, musical development, and facilitates a positive and rewarding collaborative experience.
