The Claremont Symphony Orchestra Association founded Claremont Youth Symphony Orchestra (CYSO) in 1983 to provide an orchestral music experience for young people in Claremont and the surrounding cities. At the time, state-wide budget cuts were forcing schools to cut or reduce services, and programs in music and art were among the first to be negatively affected. The CSO Board conceived CYSO as both a supplement to school music programs and as a playing opportunity for students whose schools no longer offered orchestra classes. The CYSO Orchestras operate under the administration of the Claremont Community School of Music (CCSM). The CYSO Orchestras are very grateful for its continued partnership with the Claremont Symphony Orchestra Association.
