YPSO Winter 2025 Fundraiser
Support a Season of Growth, Community, and Extraordinary Music.
Help us reach our goal by December 31, 2025.
💛 Why Your Support Matters 💛
YPSO is more than an orchestra — it’s a community where young musicians discover their voice, find belonging, and experience the joy and challenge of working toward something bigger than themselves.
Every week our students:
rehearse advanced, professional-level orchestral repertoire
learn from exceptional coaches and our longtime Music Director
deepen friendships across schools and cities
grow their confidence, discipline, and creativity
serve the community through outreach and chamber partnerships
This is the heart of YPSO — and what your support sustains.
While tuition covers only part of the cost of running the program, your generosity each year fills the gap that keeps our rehearsals humming, our coaches teaching, and our doors open to all who want to be here.
And as arts funding becomes more competitive nationally, community support is what allows youth arts programs like ours to stay strong.
🎶 A Remarkable Season Ahead — Including Our 2026 Finland & Sweden Tour
This year is especially meaningful as our students prepare for a cultural and musical exchange tour to Finland and Sweden (June 19–27, 2026).
The tour is woven into the fabric of the season — the repertoire we choose, the section work our coaches lead, the cultural learning we share, and the sense of purpose our musicians carry into each rehearsal.
Tour is one highlight of the year —
but your support keeps the entire program thriving.
