OUR “TEAM”: A musical ensemble is like a sports team. Every position on the team matters and all members contribute with talent, hard work and commitment. Team members of the WCYO Symphony Orchestra, String Orchestra and our Charles Ives Music Festival chamber ensembles include our artistic staff and faculty, our administrative staff, our board of directors, and most importantly our youth musicians, along with the family, friends and teachers that play a vital part in the their musical journeys.
Other important members of our team are financial supporters – foundation, corporate, and individual – that help cover the 50% of WCYO operating costs not covered by tuition.
MATCHING DONATION CHALLENGE: An exciting fundraising opportunity! A special group of WCYO supporters has pledged to match donations, dollar for dollar, up to $5000 between now and December 31st. This donation will help the WCYO continue its mission to educate and inspire young musicians through the study and performance of classical and contemporary musical works, participation in enrichment activities, and engagement with the community.
Make a donation today and double your impact! The pledged matching donation will double each individual donation made from now until the end of 2024. Every gift is valuable, no matter the size, and will help the WCYO reach a total fundraising goal of $10,000!
