Why Give to the YSO

Every year, the Yale Symphony Orchestra brings the Yale-New Haven community a musical experience of the highest quality while maintaining its mission to provide undergraduate musicians the opportunity to play in a professional environment, whether or not they are pursuing a career in music.

The success of the YSO wouldn’t be possible without support from the generosity of independent donors. Thanks to donations from our patrons and to local and University support, we are able to provide the Connecticut shoreline communities with a series of professional-quality concerts at a cost less than that of a movie ticket. Please give to the Yale Symphony Orchestra so that we may continue providing undergraduates with a first-rate orchestra program, and allow the orchestra more opportunities to expand their exposure and experience through concert tours, recordings, and special events.

If you have any questions or would like more information on supporting the YSO, please contact Haley Sabitus Torab, Director of Development for Yale College, at haley.sabitus@yale.edu.
