WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS:

This #GivingTuesday, your support will guide our students and their safe return to making music in-person together for the first time in almost two years.

With your support, our students will work towards artistic excellence and once again grace the beloved stages of Symphony Hall, Sanders Theatre, Tsai Performance Center, and more!

Our #GivingTuesday campaign will help cover the costs associated with our return to in-person music making – from PPE to technical needs for masked and socially distanced rehearsals.

Your support will also provide access to MusicFirst for children in our Intensive Community Program (ICP), which provides pathways for young people from communities traditionally underrepresented in classical music. MusicFirst is a comprehensive online software platform that will complement BYSO students' learning experience this year. The suite of programs offers access to modules that focus on ear training, music theory, recording assignments with real-time feedback, and even a web browser-based digital audio workspace where students can record multiple audio tracks to make a project, or can invite their friends to collaborate with them.

Your gift on #GivingTuesday also brings the joy of classical music to our communities – with reestablished partnerships with youth organizations, schools, service organizations, and other community groups by offering discounted or free tickets to BYSO concerts and events.

By supporting BYSO on #GivingTuesday, you are making it possible for our students to continue on their pathway to excellence, form new bonds with mentors and friends, and experience life-changing performance opportunities. Thank you for helping BYSO navigate new challenges and supporting our students' safe transition to rehearsals and concerts!

WHAT IS GIVING TUESDAY?

GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of radical generosity. GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
