The GSYO’s current Music Director is Huan Jing. She was also titled to the broad member of the Jeunesses Musicales International (JMI) on behalf of the Chinese Musicians Association.
The GSYO is one of the most distinguished ensembles in China today. GSYO’s rehearsals and training programs take place at the headquarters of the Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra, a multi-venue facility that is one of the most advanced in China.
