With three youth orchestras serving young musicians ages 5 through 19 and our FOOSA intensive summer music festival (170 participants), we are dedicated to access and inclusion: all young people who want to make great music should be able to make great music! We fundraise so we can offer this experience to all. Please join us!

THE NEED IS MUCH GREATER NOW, DURING THE PANDEMIC, WHEN FAMILIES ARE STRUGGLING AND OUR YOUTH NEED MUSIC MORE THAN EVER. PLEASE HELP US CONTINUE TO MAKE OUR PROGRAMMING AVAILABLE WITHOUT BARRIERS TO ANY AND ALL INTERESTED YOUNG MUSICIANS AND THEIR FAMILIES.
