The Wisconsin Youth Symphony Orchestras was founded on the principle that every child has the right to experience beauty and community by making music with others.🎶

At WYSO, young musicians learn responsibility, resilience, and leadership. They develop critical thinking skills, and find their lives transformed through the playing of music. Give to WYSO this holiday season and support our Orchestral, Chamber music, and Music Makers programs.
