Rotterdam Youth Symphony Orchestra Association

The Rotterdam Youth Association Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1972 and now consists of four orchestras and five school orchestras with musicians aged 6 to 26. With us, musicians, regardless of their background or experience, get the opportunity to make music together and grow as individuals and as part of an orchestra. We believe in the power of teamwork as a means for personal and social development. Our ambition is to make the beauty of symphonic music accessible to all young people in Rotterdam who play a classical instrument. More information: rjso.nl
