About CMYC

Founded as a summer retreat for the Vancouver Junior Symphony, the Comox Valley Youth Music Centre (CYMC) is now in its 45th year. Our mandate, to provide musical improvement and advancement to music students, is achieved primarily with the operation of the CYMC International Summer Youth Music School and Festival, a school for aspiring instrumentalists, singers and actors.

The programs offer training in all music disciplines from beginning musical studies to advanced solo, orchestral, chamber music, voice and dance. CYMC maintains an open admissions policy. The school�s festival component offers exciting concerts, recitals and theatre productions. Celebrated international artists appear in concert and join the CYMC Festival Orchestra in an outstanding series of concerts.

The success of a program such as CYMC�s is often measured by the success of its students in later life. After 40 years, it would be difficult to believe that we didn�t have some wonderful treasures among its alumni. The depth of excellence and degree of diversity in the alumni is, nonetheless surprising. Among its former students (such as Diana Krall, Ingrid Jensen and Nancy Argenta), we can count leaders in all fields of musical performance, musical education and musical production and promotion.
