The Singapore National Youth Orchestra (SNYO) is an orchestral programme for the youth of Singapore. It is recognised by the Ministry of Education (MOE) as a National Project of Excellence and a key development programme for talented young musicians. Since 1 January 2016, the Singapore Symphony Orchestra (SSO) has assumed management and operational responsibility for the SNYO, taking over the reins from the MOE. The SNYO is currently led by Principal Conductor Dr Leonard Tan. It is made up of over 200 young musicians between the ages of 10 and 21. Entry into the SNYO is by a rigorous audition process. Members studying in mainstream secondary schools will have their participation in the SNYO recognised in lieu of a school-based Co-Curricular Activity (CCA). The SNYO aims to focus on developing the most talented classical musicians and building a vibrant music community for Singapore. The SNYO hopes its future graduates will excel at the technical playing of their instrument, hone their sense of artistic expression, develop strong character, and develop a lifelong love for music. OriginsSNYO started off as a pre-war youth orchestra led by Glanffrwd Williams, who was appointed by the British administration to run the school's music programme here. In 1965, Paul Abisheganaden took over the SNYO. During the 70s, it was under the care of Young Musicians Society. Goh Soon Tioe, a private music teacher, was the conductor until 1975 when he stepped down for medical reasons. The orchestra was without a conductor until 1979 when it was housed at the University of Singapore Centre for Musical Activities (now the National University of Singapore Centre for the Arts). In 1980, MOE formally took over the management of the group. It sought to build the Singapore Youth Orchestra into a national youth orchestra and recognized it officially as an extra-curricular activity for students who are members. Professionally trained musicians (from the Singapore Symphony Orchestra, and graduates of music conservatories) give one-on-one fully subsidized coaching for most of the student musicians (the exceptions are those who choose to have their own tutors) and they also help conduct sectional rehearsals. In 2001, the orchestra was renamed as the Singapore National Youth Orchestra.[1] Conductors of SYO and SNYO
