What Sets Us Apart

Why Choose NYYS

Become a part of an organization that is all about giving youth the opportunity to explore their abilities and techniques in a non-competitive and inclusive environment while playing with others at an extremely high level of talent.

  • My love for big band playing only grows stronger as I play in the group. I’m so blessed to have been able to play with such high level musicians.

    I love the environment that NYYS creates, since I am able to interact with other students with an equal passion for music.

    With the various instrumentation assignments, I was naturally obliged to compose more consistently but while maintaining a level of inspiration and direction throughout
