Community Youth Orchestra of Southern California is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that presents innovative music education programs to serve students of all ages and ability levels, engages musicians in meaningful community service through mentorship, and fosters a positive collaborative environment for musicmaking that strives to unite people from many diverse backgrounds, identities, and experiences. Founded in 1990 by Robert Lau and directed for the past fifteen seasons by Gene Wie, the orchestra has been a contributing member to the cultural life of the City of Irvine for three decades.
Engaging in artistic partnerships with organizations like the Irvine Barclay Theatre, Master Chorale of Saddleback Valley, Orange County Children’s Theater, The Arts at St. Margaret’s, and the Irvine Chinese School and South Coast Chinese Cultural Association, we are thrilled to celebrate our 30th anniversary in the 2020-2021 season.

The program currently involves over one hundred and fifty students each year in four major performing groups including the Academy Program for grades Pre/ K-4, two intermediate string groups, the Sinfonietta (Elementary) and Sinfonia (Middle School), and our flagship ensemble, the Symphony which involves a diverse population of students from throughout the Irvine Unified School District as well as over a dozen other school districts in the Orange County area. Committed to accessible music education, our yearly tuition is heavily subsidized through the tireless efforts of parent volunteers and generous donors that have empowered CYOSC to create an instrument loan program for double bass and percussion, support public school teachers working with impacted communities in orchestral music, and develop a leading Community Service Program (CSP) for education outreach. The CSP provides high school volunteers with mentoring by our teaching artists in training the next generation of instrumental musicians in our Academy Program.

創始人兼指揮柳可久 1996 年帶領南加州青少年弦樂團前往中國巡演
南加州青少年弦樂團是一個 501(c)3 非營利組織，致力於提供創新的音樂教育計劃，為各個年齡階段和能力水平的學生提供服務，指導年輕音樂家參與有意義的社區服務，並積極製造音樂合作環境，努力團結來自不同背景、身份和經驗的學生們。樂團由柳可久老師於 1990 年創立，2005 年起由黃景熙（GeneWie）執掌，在過去 30 年中，南加州青少年弦樂團一直是爾灣市文化生活的重要成員。與爾灣巴克萊劇院、Saddleback Valley 大師合唱團、橙縣兒童劇院、聖瑪格麗特藝術中心、爾灣中文學校和南海岸中華文化協會等組織建立藝術合作夥伴關係，弦樂團曾為南海岸文化中心創建義演而籌款。
CYOSC 在 2020-2021 期間，慶祝樂團成立 30 週年。樂團計劃每年在四個主要表演團體中招募一百五十名學生，包括學前班到小學四年級的 Academy 計劃，兩個中級弦樂團體 Sinfonietta 和 Sinfonia，以及代表 CYOSC 的 Symphony 樂團，Symphony 吸引了來自爾灣學區以及橙縣其他十幾個學區的學生。
CYOSC 致力於平易近人的音樂教育，經過家長及義工不懈的努力及慷慨的捐助，我們的年度學費得到了大力補貼，使 CYOSC 能夠提供低音提琴和打擊樂器租借計劃，支持與弱勢社區公立學校管弦樂教師的合作，並制定社區服務項目以開展教育推廣。社區服務項目（CSP）由高中學生志願者，在音樂家的指導下，培訓我們 Academy 項目中的年輕學子。
