May 4, 2011 The BMI Foundation has presented the New York Youth Symphony with a special Outstanding Service Award and a $25,000 grant acknowledging the organization for their “outstanding contributions to music education and excellence in performance over many decades.” The New York Youth Symphony is the metropolitan area’s leading provider of tuition-free services to musicians, ages 12-22, with programs designed to educate by motivating players through performances. Award-winning programs in orchestral training, conducting, chamber music, jazz, and composition offer teenage and college-age musicians an invaluable opportunity to make critical decisions about their future and to get training for a professional life in music.
