Because of YOU, our young musicians never miss a rehearsal. Because of YOU, they discover new opportunities. Because of YOU, their worlds expand through music. Every note our students play is made possible by the generosity of our community: donors, sponsors, and supporters like you. With just one month to go until our 65th Annual Gala: Generations of Symphonies on November 7, we’re still welcoming sponsors who want to be part of this incredible impact. Together, we can keep the music playing for the next generation. 👉 Learn more about sponsorship opportunities at: https://www.dcyop.org/gala/ (fb)
