Inspiring youth through music

The mission of CVYO is to inspire youth through music: to enrich the current and future lives of young musicians through the unique experience of orchestral music.

CVYO is an orchestral training program, guiding young musicians from early intermediate small ensembles to pre-college level symphonic orchestras. Members enjoy studying under world-class directors and conductors, learning in an organized rehearsal and performance structure, and growing under the mentorship of our guest coaches.

CVYO was established in 1961 by Betty Bowen at California Lutheran University…


CVYO operates under Conejo Oaks Symphony in Thousand Oaks, CA as a 501c3 Non-Profit (ID 77-0423700)

Current Board of Directors: Michelle Eddy (President), Luana Cherry (Vice President), Cindy Kahn (Treasurer), Janeen Gallego (Secretary), Micah Tischler, Dianne Rammon, Shayne Heller LaChapelle
