About Greater Miami Youth Symphony

Greater Miami Youth Symphony (GMYS) currently serves upwards of 900 students ranging in age from 5 to 18. The mission of GMYS is to instill life-long values of discipline, teamwork, responsibility, respect and cultural appreciation in young musicians. The organization reaches out to youth from a broad variety of cultural, ethnic and economic backgrounds and trains young people to perform professionally and function together as first-rate orchestra and ensembles. GMYS is funded in part by the Children’s Trust, a dedicated source of revenue established by voter referendum to improve the lives of children and families in Miami-Dade Count. GMYS is also supported in part by the Miami-Dade County Mayor and the Board of County Commissioners, the City of Miami Beach Cultural Affairs Program and the Cultural Arts Council, the State of Florida Department of State Division of Cultural Affairs, the Miami Foundation, and the City of Coral Gables.

Founded in 1958 by Robert Strassburg.
