Help the York Symphony Orchestra & Chorus promote music in York County!
Did you know that during a standard concert season, it would take the entire community's generosity to ensure our symphony thrives and shines brightly? In fact, professional orchestras on average generate only a mere 25-30% of their total budget from ticket sales.
What raises the curtain, stirs the orchestra, and allows us to fill your hearts and souls with harmony and joy, is the melodious contribution from individuals like YOU. Yes, it's your donations that are the real headliners of this show!
Give for Music. Your donations are critical in crafting those magnificent performances that you have come to love and expect from us. Please know that ticket sales only cover 25% of our total expenses and it's generous donors like you who make us achieve the rest.
Give for Education. Our YSO musicians and staff interact with over 12,500 students, nurturing their creativity, enhancing their skills, and sharing our love for music. We believe in the power of music and the lifelong lessons it teaches.
Give to support the Arts. Our music is the melodious foundation upon which every great community is built. As a partner of the Cultural Alliance of York County, we embrace that larger mission as well. We always working toward the larger mission of elevating and emphasizing the importance of Art in our society.
Give to support the Community. Downtown York comes alive on symphony nights. You support is a direct investment into the cultural enrichment of our community.
