Tuition is subsidized heavily by the Idaho State-Civic Symphony, as our costs well exceed our tuition rates, but we believe that our mission is to provide a quality symphonic experience for our emerging musicians.

Tuition helps to covers the cost of:

• Conductors
• Professional Clinicians
• Sectional staff
• Music - purchase, copies or rentals
• Weekly snacks
• Youth Orchestra swag
• Facility Rental
• Free comp ticket for each student to ever Idaho State-Civic Symphony Season Concert

The Idaho State-Civic Symphony does have scholarships to help cover the cost of tuition. Please contact the Youth Orchestra manager, Shawna Morrissey, for details and requirements.

Any age! Youth Orchestra students must pass the audition.
