CANCELED: OCYS Plays Beethoven and Tchaikovsky

In light of the recent directive from the Governor of the State of California, and the escalating issues related to COVID-19, SOKA University will be postponing or cancellng all shows for the rest of the season. This decision was not entered into lightly. The safety of our community and those most vulnerable among us is our main concern.  We want to reassure our patrons that no cases have been reported on the campus of Soka University.  

We have modified our refund policy to respond to these current events.  All performances cancelled or postponed may be refunded or the ticket returned for credit to your account on a future performance, at the purchase price. Please call the Box Office at 949-480-4278 or email tickets@soka.edu.

Founded in 1970, the Orange County Youth Symphony is the official youth orchestra of Orange County. The diverse roster represents student musicians from nearly 50 high school and college programs from San Clemente to Fullerton and beyond. The Orange County Youth Symphony community of young musicians and their families is particularly committed to advancing and sharing the intercultural love of orchestral music. They serve as music ambassadors to each other and to the local schools, districts, and cities. With the support of a small staff and board, the orchestra is energetically led by the music director and conductor, Johannes Müller Stosch.
