It’s the sound of Tulsa’s future.

In the midst of dwindling public education funding, especially in the arts, a generous $50,000 matching grant from the Albert and Hete Barthelmes Foundation ensures that there has never been a better time to support the Tulsa Youth Symphony. With expanded and diverse program offerings, there is a place for every student to be a part of a community where they can find their voice, express themselves, and build confidence. With your help, the Tulsa Youth Symphony will continue to thrive and produce outstanding young musicians and community members.

Please consider a show of support for our work in the form of a tax-deductible donation to ensure TYS may continue to foster unity through music for years to come!

As the longest continually running orchestra in Northeast Oklahoma, the Tulsa Youth Symphony has been a vital part of Green Country’s educational and artistic community for over the last 60 years, serving thousands of young musicians. What began, in 1963, as one orchestra of high school musicians has grown into three ensembles serving over 300 students grades 4 through 12 and multiple other programs. Our mission to provide advanced musical training and performance opportunities has contributed to the critical intellectual and emotional growth of our members, as we nurture talent, encourage curiosity and expression, and instill leadership and teamwork skills.
