Spring is the time of year when we have the pleasure of witnessing one of the most magical moments at the Tucson Symphony Orchestra—watching children’s faces light up with the love of live, classical music. Thousands of young people are joining us in April and May for Kinderkonzerts and Young People’s Concerts. Dozens more will be finishing the Young Composers Project where for months aspiring young creators, many as young as 8-years-old, have been writing their own original works to be premiered by our ensembles and even our full orchestra.

• Registrations in Young People’s Concerts are up 50% over last year.
• For many, this year’s field trip will be their first in three years!
• Their ears are tuned! Before they come to the concert hall, we’ve worked in residency with dozens of schools—students have hummed along to Star Wars and cheered the music of Beethoven and Arturo Márquez.
• Our young composers can’t wait to hear their pieces performed live, for the very first time, at our 31st Young Composers Festival!

To unleash the thunderous applause of thousands of young people, please consider a spring gift today. Whether it’s your first gift of the season or a second or extra gift, we need your help to inspire 30,000 budding symphony lovers. And, when you increase your support, we’ll proudly BOLD your name in our donor lists for the coming season, as a way to inspire others.

Your generosity makes all the difference!
