Founded in 1994, the Jacksonville Symphony Youth Orchestra (JSYO) enrolls close to 250 young musicians between the ages of 7 and 22. Students are admitted through competitive auditions and placed among six ensemble levels, plus chamber music, and presents four concerts each season.  The JSYO has become one the best and most comprehensive youth orchestra programs in the Southeast. As music programs are scaled back in public schools, the JSYO has filled this void by offering quality orchestral instruction, guided by a team of professional conductors and coaches led by Scott Gregg. The Jacksonville Symphony Youth Orchestra (JSYO) is co-sponsored by Florida State College of Jacksonville and the Jacksonville Symphony Association.
