HistoryThe Metropolitan Youth Symphony was founded in 1974 by Lajos Balogh. Maestro Balogh started MYS with 16 string players, and rapid growth enlarged the group to 35 by its first performance in 1975. Rehearsals now take place on Saturdays at Roseway Heights School in Northeast Portland. Over the years, MYS has responded to need in the community for musical enrichment, and has expanded to encompass three full orchestras, three string ensembles, three concert bands, two jazz orchestras, and a flute ensemble. MYS traditionally invites guest choirs to join the Symphony Orchestra for winter performances in the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall.
