🎶✨ What an incredible evening of music, collaboration, and artistry at The Sound We Make.

This past weekend, a group of talented Chesapeake Youth Symphony Orchestra musicians had the opportunity to perform alongside professional orchestral musicians and local singer-songwriters in a truly unique concert experience at Live Arts Studio.

From rehearsals to the final bow, our students rose to the occasion with professionalism, passion, and outstanding musicianship. Sharing the stage with such accomplished artists while bringing these original works to life was an unforgettable experience and a testament to the dedication and talent of these young musicians. 🎻✨

We are so proud of every CYSO performer who took part in this special event and grateful to everyone who made the evening possible. Experiences like these remind us of the power of music to connect, inspire, and bring a community together.

Bravo to all involved for an amazing performance! 💛🎶

🏳️‍🌈🎻 This Pride Month, Chesapeake Youth Symphony Orchestra recognizes and celebrates our LGBTQ+ students, families, and members of our wider community.

We’re grateful for the community that continues to lift up our students and help them grow with confidence, pride, and connection through music.

Happy Pride Month from Chesapeake Youth Symphony Orchestra! 🌈🎶✨
