Serving nearly 100 students on the South Side, the Hyde Park Youth Symphony is one of the fastest growing orchestral programs in Chicago. Since 2015, HPYS has been an in-residence partner organization of both the University of Chicago Department of Music and the Logan Center for the Arts.
Conductors and coaches at all levels of the HPYS provided a high-quality arts experience for youth musicians, nurturing in them a love of music that will last a lifetime. Our three orchestras rehearse and perform on beautiful and inspiring University of Chicago campus, and students have access to the world-class facilities and resources through this partnership.
