San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra
The San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra (SFSYO) is the youth orchestra of the San Francisco Symphony and a key element of the symphony's community outreach and education program. First organized in 1981, the SFSYO performs an annual concert series, tours internationally, and has made several recordings.〔 The orchestra is based in Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall.
==History==
The SFSYO was first organized in 1981 by Edo de Waart, then music director of the San Francisco Symphony, and Jahja Ling, who became the SFSYO's first music director. Pianist and arts patron Agnes Albert (1908–2002) was also instrumental in its founding. The Agnes Albert Youth Music Education Fund continues to support the orchestra's activities, as does the Phyllis C. Wattis Foundation.〔Kosman, Joshua (20 June 2002). ("Agnes Albert – pianist, S.F. Symphony supporter" ). ''San Francisco Chronicle''〕〔Campbell, Philip (1 March 2012). ("Hearty homecoming" ). ''Bay Area Reporter'', Vol. 42, No. 9〕 The orchestra's inaugural concert came on January 17, 1982 with a performance of works by Brahms, Dvořák and Haydn, conducted by Ling. In 1986, the SFSYO went on the first of their ten European tours to date and won the "Vienna Cup" at the Youth and Music Festival and competition in Vienna.〔Associated Press (21 July 1986). (Orchestra Wins Cup" ). ''Los Angeles Times''〕 Throughout its history, the SFSYO has performed and recorded in some of the world's principal concert halls including the Royal Concertgebouw, Wiener Musikverein, Berliner Philharmonie, Mariinsky Theatre, Smetana Hall, and the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées.
The orchestra celebrated its 25th anniversary in May 2007 with a performance in Davies Symphony Hall of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 with the San Francisco Symphony Chorus and soloists from San Francisco Opera.〔Kosman, Joshua (15 May 2007). ("Youth Orchestra to cap 25 years with big blast from Beethoven" ). ''San Francisco Chronicle''〕 Other notable concerts over the years include their 1996 simultaneous performance of John Cage's ''Renga'' and ''Apartment House 1776'' with four surviving members of The Grateful Dead joining the orchestra; their 2005 performance of Mahler's Symphony No. 1 (conductor Edwin Outwater's farewell concert as the orchestra's 5th Music Director); and their 2008 performance of Dvořák's ''New World Symphony'' in memory of the SFSYO's benefactor Agnes Albert.〔Ross, Alex (19 June 1996). ("A Parade of the Maverick Modernists, Joined by the Dead" ). ''New York Times''〕〔Kosman, Joshua (17 May 2005). ("Youth orchestra does departing director proud" ). ''San Francisco Chronicle''〕〔Kosman, Joshua (20 May 2008). ("Youth Orchestra flies high" ). ''San Francisco Chronicle''〕
In September 2009, Donato Cabrera was named the 7th Music Director of the SFSYO and has continued the orchestra's concert tradition of combining music by contemporary composers with that of the standard classical repertoire. During his tenure, the orchestra has performed contemporary works by Christopher Rouse (''Infernal Machine''), John Adams (''The Chairman Dances''), and Gabriela Lena Frank (''Latin American Dances for Orchestra'').〔Kosman, Joshua (23 March 2010). ("Music review: S.F. Symphony Youth Orchestra" ). ''San Francisco Chronicle''〕 In 2012, the SFSYO won a 2011-12 ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming of American Music on foreign tours. Later that year the orchestra released a recording of their performance of Mahler's Symphony No. 1 live at the Berliner Philharmonie. In 2015, the SFSYO was awarded the Best Orchestral Performance Award in the Bay Area for the 2014/2015 season by the ''San Francisco Classical Voice'' for their performance of Mahler's Symphony No. 5. In addition to its performance at Davies Symphony Hall, the SFSYO also performed Mahler's Symphony No. 5 at the Teatro Nuovo Giovanni da Udine, Berliner Philharmonie, Royal Concertgebouw, and Smetana Hall during their 2014/2015 season.
