about

The Santa Fe Youth Symphony Association’s Sponsor a Student program allows us to provide the highest quality programming, materials, and experiences to all our students inside and outside of the classroom. This year, the Sponsor a Student program will expand to the Quemazon Jazz Combo to allow us to extend class time, provide outside of class educational opportunities, and more!

About our Mariachi Program
Our Mariachi Program provides mariachi music education and mariachi performance opportunities for students aged 7 - 20 in Santa Fe. The program increases cultural awareness, gives our youth diverse options for musical expression, and brings our community together. The program is open to students in Santa Fe, and all surrounding areas.

Mariachi Estrella is the SFYSA Mariachi program's most advanced ensemble. This group performs at the regular concert series, as well as in gigs out in the community. They also attend various mariachi conferences/festivals each summer, as well as occasionally travel out of town on overnight trips. 

About our Jazz Program 

The Santa Fe Youth Symphony Association’s Jazz Project is the arm of the organization that focuses on the skills and techniques needed to perform America’s music - Jazz. The SFYSA Jazz Project is made up of a number of different small ensembles or combos. At this time, there are two ensembles in Santa Fe and seven ensembles in Los Alamos.
Quemazon Jazz Combo Is the SFYSA Jazz project's most advanced ensemble. They regular perform at community events, where they learn the skills it takes to be a working musician.
