Your Gift, Their Journey - Support Scholarships for orchestral education and Cultural Exchange

This season, YPSO is embarking on a 9-day, 3-concert summer tour of Japan.  We have a unique opportunity to perform there, do a local cultural exchange program, and visit major cultural sites in Kyoto, Hiroshima, the Instrument Museum in Hamamatsu, & Tokyo.
