The Boston Youth Symphony Orchestras (BYSO) is a youth orchestra based in Boston, Massachusetts under the artistic leadership of Music Director Federico Cortese. Since 1958, BYSO has served thousands of young musicians from throughout New England with three full symphonic orchestras, two string training orchestras, a preparatory wind ensemble, four chamber orchestras, a chamber music program, and a nationally recognized string training program for underrepresented youth from inner-city communities called the Intensive Community Program (ICP).〔 BYSO’s mission is to "encourage artistic excellence in a nurturing environment by providing the highest quality orchestral training and performance opportunities to qualified musicians, grades K-12, and making its programs accessible to underrepresented youth through financial aid and outreach."〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title= Our Programs )〕 Each year, BYSO auditions about 900 elementary and secondary students, accepting around half of them.〔 BYSO creates a community for young musicians, their families and the people that support their passion for music. BYSO offers over 20 performances in some of Boston's finest venues including Boston Symphony Hall, Jordan Hall at the New England Conservatory, Sanders Theatre at Harvard University and the Tsai Performance Center at Boston University. The orchestras and chamber ensembles rehearse every Sunday from September through June at Boston University College of Fine Arts, where BYSO has been in residence since it was established in 1958. The College of Fine Arts is a major sponsor of BYSO. BYSO receives funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, the premier federal arts funding agency in the United States, as well as numerous private and public funding sources. In 2007, the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the state’s agency for arts, humanities and sciences, announced continued support for the BYSO; it ranked the BYSO first among all orchestras in the state for its quality, outreach programs, and fiscal and administrative management. BYSO has the largest operating budget (in 2010, $2,372,974 〔(BYSO 2010 Annual Report" )〕) of any youth orchestra in the United States, nearly double that of most youth orchestras.〔(BYSO Today ), BYSO website〕 Joe Grimaldi is the current President of BYSO Board of Directors. ==Orchestras== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Boston Youth Symphony Orchestras」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
