Learn more at https://www.srsymphony.org/education-community/ The Santa Rosa Symphony has been widely recognized for having one of the most comprehensive music education programs in California, serving students, educators and families. There is a long history of providing outstanding music education programs, beginning over 50 years ago with the Junior Symphony, which is now known as the Santa Rosa Symphony Youth Orchestra. The Youth Orchestra had had the honor of performing in great concert halls such as Carnegie Hall and Davies Hall, and on tours abroad to Germany, Czech Republic, China, Austria, Hungary, and Spain. Students may attend one of the Free Concerts for Youth, experience and in-school performance or learn from curriculum and lesson plans provided by the Symphony to teachers to incorporate music into their regular classroom activities. Despite ever increasing costs, the Symphony’s commitment to education remains unwavering, with programs designed to foster a love of music and a lifetime involvement with the musical arts.

Introducing this year’s Redwood Violin recipient Irving Grassi! Each year, one deserving musician in our Young People’s Chamber Orchestra is selected to represent the ensemble by playing this special violin in concerts and performances throughout the county.
Irving Grassi is a 16 year old student at Roseland University Prep in Santa Rosa, and currently plays 1st violin in the Santa Rosa Symphony Youth Orchestra and in the Young People’s Chamber Orchestra. He began studying violin in the 6th grade in Simply Strings, the Santa Rosa Symphony’s El Sistema inspired after school music program. Irving explained, “I started playing violin to try something out for fun, but it slowly turned into something I loved to do.”
Irving plans to continue playing violin in college while pursuing his dream of becoming an aerospace engineer. When not making music, he enjoys playing chess, video games, and hanging out with his friends.
Santa Rosa based violin maker Andrew Carruthers began the Redwood Violin project in 2020. This unique violin was built from scratch using only materials that originated in Sonoma County as a celebration of place, history, and community. Many artisans and businesses were involved in the project, which was documented in a series of videos, blogposts, and local press. You can learn more about the project at theredwoodviolin.org
