Experience that Matters
From a student playing their first notes to performing at Carnegie Hall — NVYS trains young musicians from across the Valley and gives them the stage they deserve.
Notes
An introductory group coaching program for beginning strings, brass, and woodwind players.
Sinfonia
An introductory orchestral experience for both string and wind players at an advanced beginner level.
Bridge
A dynamic program designed to support students transitioning from Sinfonia to the Youth Symphony.
Youth Symphony
The Youth Symphony performs full orchestral repertoire and prepares students for orchestral experiences at the college level and beyond.
OUR MISSION
World-class music training for every student in the Valley.
NVYS was founded in 2002 with a simple belief: every young musician in Napa Valley deserves access to outstanding orchestral training, regardless of background or financial means.
Today we serve students across four ensembles, from total beginners to collegiate-level players — with full scholarship access at every level.
