Entry Description

The Albuquerque Youth Symphony program is an organization that instils and promotes a passion for music in the highly diverse, gifted and indigent youth of the city through their symphonic ensembles.

The brand and visual identity for the Albuquerque Youth Symphony Program has been inspired by a conductor’s hand, poised in midair to immerse the audience and performers into a musical symphonic composition. It captures that poignant moment when, with a simple lift of the hand, musicians, audience and the performance hall falls into a hushed silence in anticipation of the music that follows. The symbol also emulates an upward soaring bird, representing the striving young musicians, reaching up and aspiring high to realize their dreams, in their pursuit of music.
