Our History

It started with a horn!

More specifically with a Trumpet. Who would have known when 10 year old Jeannette Boulay picked up her father’s trumpet, that a symphony would be born? In the early 1980’s, Jeannette, who was now Banoczi, moved to the Coachella Valley and became involved in a local orchestra.

When she found out that the organization was struggling to stay afloat, she went to work and reorganized, staffed, and in 1993 founded what is today the Coachella Valley Symphony. In 1995, along with a generous gift from movie star and musician Buddy Rogers and his wife Beverly - the Buddy Rogers Youth Symphony was formed.

Our Youth Programs

As a community music organization, the Symphony is composed of three components: An adult orchestra, and two educational programs the Beginning Strings Conservatory and the Buddy Rogers Youth Symphony. These programs have been arranged to encourage members to continually transition from one program to another as one advances musically and matures in age.
