Welcome to Austin Youth Orchestra!
Amplify Austin Day is right around the corner. During the biggest giving event in Central Texas, residents from across our community will come together to support hundreds of local nonprofits for 24 hours, starting at 6pm on March 6 through 6pm on March 7.
This year our goal is to raise $10,000 with the help of donors. These valuable funds will help AYO serve more students as orchestra programs are developed in outlying areas. Growth impacts the need for scholarships, for conductors, and for administrative staff.
So how can you help? Make a donation to us at https://www.amplifyatx.org/organizations/austin-youth-orchestra and then share the news with all of your friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors.
Amplify Austin Day is all about collective community giving. Every gift will bring us one step closer to reaching this year’s big goal and help make a huge impact on our community.
Our mission as Austin Youth Orchestra
is to provide an exceptional music education that enriches the lives of developing musicians in our community by working cooperatively and collaboratively with schools
and teachers in the region.
