Comments from donors:
“TMYO was there for our family in a tough time. My daughter was able to participate while I was unemployed thanks to the scholarship program. This was such a gift, and it keeps on giving now that she is playing in orchestras at the college level. Thanks to everyone for all you do to help instill a love of good music in our children.”
“TMYO has been a wonderful music enrichment experience for my daughter. Thank you very much!”
