The award-winning South Florida Youth Symphony, one of the country’s leading youth music organizations, has won the prestigious 2021 Best of Miami Award in the Music Instructor category.
Each year, the Miami Award Program — an annual awards program honoring the achievements and accomplishments of local businesses throughout the Miami area — identifies companies that have achieved exceptional marketing success in their local community and business category. These are local companies that enhance the positive image of small business through service to their customers and our community. These exceptional companies help make the Miami area a great place to live, work and play.
“We are honored to be selected for this outstanding recognition said SFYS executive and music director Marjorie Hahn. “We have gathered the finest instructors in South Florida, dedicated to the students, and it is to their credit to be recognized by an award such as this.”
Now in its 57th consecutive year, the SFYS has performed world-wide over the past five decades. In recent years, they won a Gold Medal at the prestigious Heritage Music Festival in Washington, D.C. in 2017, performed at Carnegie Hall in 2018 (for the third time) and captured Gold at the Young Bohemian 2019 Music Festival in Prague, Czech Republic. When the COVID-19 pandemic forced the talented young musicians to practice via ZOOM and perform virtual concerts, they captured a prestigious Suncoast Emmy for their third virtual concert.
The Youth Symphony is comprised of musicians from throughout Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Classes are held on Sunday afternoons at the Pawley Creative Arts Center (Building 5000) at the Miami Dade College, North Campus, 11380 NW 27 Ave.
