Thanks to you, 2021 was a triumphant year for Claflin Hill’s 300+ professional musicians! Performance opportunities were made possible thanks to the support of our hundreds of donors, corporate sponsors, and foundations. These funds are necessary to support our programs, nurture talent, and pursue excellence both on and off the stage. Additionally, many supporters also contributed of their time an

d expertise serving on our Board of Directors and as volunteers at events and in the office. Believing that world-class training requires world-class teachers, our donors support the involvement of CHSO professional musicians to mentor, tutor and inspire Claflin Hill Youth Symphonies’ young musicians, elevating them, and taking them to a new level of performance. All of our musicians have a commitment and passion that is truly inspirational. Just as important is the community of dedicated and generous people who love to see, hear and support the CHSO! Without you, we simply would not be able to do what we do with the high standards you rightly expect. Your contributions help to ensure that all of our important projects and programs continue into the future, and we are ever so grateful for your support. The CHSO is your orchestra. It is a one-of-a-kind amazing, valuable and genuine team of people who only want to bring great performances and inspiration to you. You are important to us as not only our audience members, but as caretakers of this great organization and as the force that makes music more accessible, more meaningful and more affordable to us all – building community with music – through Claflin Hill. Your leadership and partnerships open the doors to experiences that forge powerful connections in our community. That’s what we’re building here – community – and we are a community-supported orchestra – YOUR Claflin Hill Symphony Orchestra. We appeal to you to make a gift tonight in order to ensure a strong future for live music in our region. Please visit www.claflinhill.org and click ‘Donate.’

Thank you SO much for your support. Claflin Hill Board of Directors and Volunteer Coordinator

PLEASE SHARE!

The Claflin Hill Youth Symphonies are BACK for Fall 2026 — and auditions are now open!

CHYS is returning to serve young musicians throughout MetroWest, Framingham, Greater Milford, and surrounding communities.

This relaunch is especially meaningful because it’s being led by CHYS alumni who are now music educators themselves — musicians whose lives were shaped by this program and who are now paying it forward to the next generation.

We’re looking for:
🎻 String Players
🎺 Wind & Brass Players
🥁 Percussionists
📚 Grades 7–12
🎼 At least 1 year of private music study

Students will experience:
✨ High-level ensemble performance
✨ Mentorship from professional musicians
✨ Musical friendships that last a lifetime
✨ A welcoming and supportive musical community

📍 Rehearsals: Saturday mornings at the Southborough History & Arts Center, just off Route 9 in Southborough
📍 Auditions: May 30 & June 6 at Memorial Hall in Milford

🎁 Special audition perk: Families who register for auditions will receive FREE tickets to the Claflin Hill Symphony Orchestra’s Season Opening concert this November. Just tell us how many tickets your family needs!

Many of our alumni describe CHYS as one of the most meaningful experiences of their musical lives — helping them grow not only as musicians, but as confident young adults.
