Thanks to the hard work of many parents and community volunteers, the Yakima Youth Symphony Orchestra has been able

We are proud to offer this unique opportunity for young people to experience the benefits of a classical music education right here in the Yakima Valley. But the reality is, each year we must find the funds to continue.
