Santa Clarita Valley Youth Orchestra

The Santa Clarita Valley Youth Orchestra (SCVYO), an innovative Los Angeles–based nonprofit youth orchestra, makes its Seattle debut in a dynamic evening celebrating collaboration, creativity, and cross-disciplinary performance.

This special concert brings together three vibrant youth arts communities: SCVYO, students from the Seattle Youth Symphony, and dancers from Spectrum Dance Theater Youth Company. The program culminates in a powerful, staged performance of selections from Georges Bizet’s Carmen Suite No. 1, featuring live choreography performed alongside the orchestra.

The evening opens with string repertoire showcasing the expressive depth and precision of SCVYO and Seattle Youth Symphony musicians, followed by the electrifying rhythms and dramatic flair of Carmen & more! Audiences will experience music not only as sound, but as movement and storytelling — an immersive collaboration between young instrumentalists and dancers.

Designed for families, classical music lovers, and arts supporters alike, in this performance, audiences will experience the excitement of seeing young artists from different cities unite on one stage. The result is a celebration of artistic partnership and the transformative power of youth arts education.

This concert is free and open to the public. Optional donations are warmly welcomed and will directly support the participating youth arts organizations and the students you see on stage.
