The San Luis Obispo County Youth Symphony was founded in 1965 by Dr. Wachtang "Botso" Korisheli and has grown to include over 100 participating musicians annually.  Staffed by conductors and coaches with extensive experience, the Youth Symphony organization provides an excellent environment for musicians to develop their skills through symphonic and chamber music training.  It remains the only opportunity between the cities of Santa Barbara and Monterey for school-age musicians to receive a full orchestral experience.

In 2006, the Youth Symphony voted to merge with the San Luis Obispo Symphony and is now an integral part of the Symphony's extensive Music Education Program.
