Every contribution helps ensure that all students—regardless of background—have access to high-level music education and performance opportunities. The Winter Concert will showcase a wide variety of orchestral repertoire and feature talented student soloists. It’s a joyful celebration of youth, creativity, and the power of music to bring people together. For more information about COYO, visit coyomusic.org.
