My Daughter has played with the Sacramento Youth Symphony (SYS) for the last two years as a member of the Vivace Strings Ensemble under the tutelage of conductor Greg Brucker. My daughter as grown musically more than I could have imagined over those two years. I am so thankful that an organization of this caliber exists in our community. I am proud to be a member of the SYS Board of Directors and can think of no better organization to entrust the musical growth of my daughter.

We have attended a number of youth symphony (YS) concerts and are impressed with the breadth of their repertoire and the quality of their playing. The YS conductor particularly stands out for his energy, enthusiasm, creativity and love for the young people he is serving. I can think of no better or no more positive channel for youth than this great orchestra.

I was a member of the Sacramento Youth Symphony's Premier Orchestra for four years. Over the course of my tenure with the Orchestra, my life was enriched in so many ways that enumerating them all would be impossible. I cultivated my musical ability by performing a professional repertoire with magnificent young musicians; I broadened my cultural outlook by touring in Austria and the Czech Republic; I helped my community by providing live orchestral music—an engaging cultural medium which can, and should, be preserved—to the public; and I built friendships with incredible people along the way. Michael Neumann, the Artistic Director of SYS and the conductor of the Premier Orchestra, has poured his soul into this organization, and it shows: his musical artistry, and his parallel love of humankind, filled every rehearsal and every performance. SYS is doing incredible work, enriching the lives of young people in the Sacramento region and beyond, and I hope they continue to do so far into the future.—Maxwell J. Collard
