Now, after more than 60 years, Boston Youth Symphony Orchestras (BYSO) has a home of its own at 235 Huntington Ave., directly across the street from Boston Symphony Hall. This permanent home for young musicians, gives all children unfettered access to music making and a place to make dreams come true.
"What I like about classical music is, it just hits my ear right. I just like the sound of a whole orchestra playing together," said White, a 12-year-old violinist from Dorchester.
The musicians range from ages 4 to 18 years old and they sign up because they have the classical bug.
The BYSO has an intensive community program where they go into underrepresented communities in the Greater Boston area to make sure kids have a chance to participate in the classical music arts. That will expand with the orchestra's new home.
