Play a Part in Our Future!

Established in 1975, Oakland Youth Symphony was founded with a vision to offer an opportunity for students to enrich their musical education. Fifty years later, now known as the Oakland Youth Orchestras, it comprises four orchestras, providing experiences for nearly 350 elementary through high school students, attracting students who want to be challenged musically, and who seek to find a broader community of like-minded fellow musicians. 

The remarkable growth of our organization has been driven by the generosity of our donors. As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, we invite you to play a crucial role in securing the future of OYO by supporting the programs that enrich our young musicians.

We hope you will join us to celebrate the season and usher in another 50 years of outstanding opportunities for our youth.
