Ways to support LIYO
Since its inception, the orchestra’s mission remains the same: to draw together a family of exceptionally gifted young players to give them the opportunity to rehearse and perform challenging music not normally available at their respective schools. By gathering together so many gifted young men and women from all over Long Island, LIYO offers its players a unique opportunity to meet, work with, and get to know their musical peers in order to develop an ever-growing musical family that will last a lifetime.
As a nonprofit organization, LIYO relies on the generosity of it volunteers, audience, and donors to ensure the best possible musical experience for its gifted young players. Your support today will allow LIYO to continue its long tradition of service and help to strengthen its capacity to serve tomorrow’s musicians, educators, and lifelong music enthusiasts.
