Help us continue making amazing music…

 

MYS enriches and inspires talented K-12 orchestral musicians by providing a professional and comprehensive musical education.

Like most youth orchestra programs, tuition and ticket sales only cover 50% of our total costs. We rely on financial contributions to support our work with students.

Your gift is 100% tax deductible, and creates opportunities for the next generation of young musicians. Donate today!

  • I love how older MYS musicians help out and inspire younger players.
