ABOUT OUR NYC TOUR:

For many of our Tulsa Youth Symphony students, the opportunity to perform at Carnegie Hall represents far more than a prestigious concert in a big city. An opportunity of this caliber is a transformative milestone that can vastly shape the trajectory of their lives. Performing in one of the world's most iconic venues affirms their talent and work ethic, ignites their confidence, and opens doors to possibilities many have never imagined. For some, it will be the first time they truly see themselves as professional level musicians and a transform a passion into a lifelong pursuit. For others, it will be the spark that demonstrates to them that they are capable of achieving anything they put their mind to when they work hard. This experience creates lasting memories, builds resilience, and shows our young artists that excellence from Oklahoma is worthy of the world's greatest stages.

Your support makes this dream possible. Every gift helps cover travel, accommodations, and performance costs so that talented students, regardless of family income, can participate in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. By investing in these young musicians, you are investing in the future of the arts in Tulsa and beyond. You are giving the next generation the chance to stand in the spotlight, represent their community with pride, and believe that anything is possible.

Together, we can ensure that in 2027 Carnegie Hall will resonate warmly with the Sound of Tulsa's Future.

Thank you for believing in our students and in the power of music to change lives for the better.
