About CSYM

In 1982, Stephen Power organised the Granta Suzuki Group which in turn evolved into Cambridge Suzuki Young Musicians (CSYM). CSYM is a constituted non-profit association which aims to provide musical education for children with a commitment to excellence through the educational approaches of Suzuki and Kodály. Its activities provide support for children, parents and teachers in the planning, organisation and hosting of concerts, workshops and fundraising events.

An annual CSYM family membership fee helps cover general group expenses, including the costs of mounting two group concerts each academic year, allowing all families, students & friends to attend free of charge

The CSYM is managed by a volunteer Executive Committee which is elected at the annual AGM and meets approximately six times throughout the academic year.

New Committee Members voted in at the AGM November 2009 include:

Li Li General Secretary
Rita Atkins Treasurer
Ericka Jacobs Friends of the Committee/PR

Other parents actively supporting the committee include Karen Sylvester(Website Manager), and Annegret Dahlmann(Fund-raising)

Besides committee members, many other parents make practical contributions to the work of the group, particularly at special events such as concerts and workshops, contributing time, energy and skills. The CSYM relies on, and is strengthened by, the involvement of parents through its 'Friends of the Committee'.

Over the years, CSYM has organised many successful musical events. In recent years, for example, the group has helped organised:
