BYSO students rehearse in full orchestras, smaller ensembles and in individualized coaching sessions on Sundays at the College of Fine Arts. Some members of the music community at the College also serve as coaches.

Boston University also provides the use of many musical instruments as well as rehearsal and office space at no charge to the BYSO. The Dean of the College of Fine Arts, and the Director of the Music Division serve as ex officio members on the BYSO Board of Directors.

This close and important relationship between Boston University and the BYSO has enabled the BYSO to provide talented young musicians with significant opportunities for personal and artistic growth. The BYSO is grateful to Boston University for their continued support.
