support cyso

By supporting the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestras (CYSO) you become a major part of one of the premier age 7 to 18 youth orchestras in the country. Each season, over 5,500 gifted musicians and Chicago public school students participate in our ensembles and education programs…programs that are made possible with your support. Tuition only covers one fifth of the total cost of each student's participation in the CYSO. We depend on support from our patrons and volunteers each year in order to make up the difference and help maintain the high-quality and enriching musical experiences our students and audiences have come to expect.

Over the years CYSO students have gone on to become orchestra members of some of the most recognized names in the world of classical music including: The Los Angeles Philharmonic, The New York Philharmonic, The Academy of Saint Martin-In-The-Fields, The Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and many others. By giving to the CYSO, you are not only supporting its programs, but the virtuosic musicians of tomorrow and the future of classical music.

If you have any questions or wish to make a donation over the phone, please call R. Scott Dodson, Director of Development at 312-939-2207 x20 or sdodson@cyso.org.
