The Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra is an in-residence ensemble at the Elgin Community College Visual and Performing Arts Center. Since 1976, the EYSO has been challenging and inspiring an ever-widening circle of young musicians with rich and deep musical experiences. Today, it is the largest and oldest youth orchestra in northwest Illinois with more than 250 students from 46 communities.

The EYSO Board of Directors exists to support the ongoing mission of the EYSO, through fundraising, development, coordinating of volunteers, and staff assistance.
