Every gift made to the Olathe Youth Symphony (OYS) has a positive impact on tour talented young musicians. Regardless of the size of the gift, your generosity helps support the development of our young members while they explore the endless possibilities music can bring to their lives. Student participation fees meet many of the expenses associated with the OYS program. However, as a non-profit organization, the OYS could not provide our young musicians with a rich musical experience without the generosity of our donors! Individuals, foundations, corporations and in-kind services support the OYS experience!
