Support DSA Orchestra & Band Scholarships

Our Orchestra and Band programs give students amazing chances to perform—locally, across the country, and at world-class venues. These experiences are crucial for their growth as musicians and people. With your generous support, we can expand students’ horizons—allowing them to explore and share the richness of the classical repertoire with new audiences, while deepening their artistry and excellence.

Your support allows us to offer scholarships so every student can participate, regardless of their financial situation.

Why Your Gift Matters

"I was given a scholarship and the chance to go to Italy with the DSA full orchestra. This was really important to me as it has allowed me to enjoy the culture and scenery of Italy while also being able to play concerts with the orchestra. I am really grateful to be given this opportunity and hope that others in the future can do the same." - Howard Tsai, 10th Grade.

When you support DSA's music programs, you're ensuring that financial barriers don't keep talented students from life-changing experiences. You're helping them grow as artists, connect with audiences, and see the world through music.

Your support makes these opportunities possible for all our students.
