Any Monetary Donation
Every gift, big or small, helps keep our students playing.
$80
Buy a Set of Music
Purchase a new piece of music for the semester's performance so students have something fresh to play.
In-kind
Donate Instruments or Equipment
Gently used instruments, cases, or printing services are always welcome. If you have something a young musician could use, we'd love to put it to work.
Performance Opportunities
Invite Us to Perform
Giving our students a stage is one of the most meaningful ways you can support them. We can provide a small ensemble to a full orchestra to suite your event.

Community events
Community Service Performances
Let us help you raise funds or serve the public. Our students are eager to give back through music. A select ensemble will perform — please reach out well in advance so we can plan accordingly.

Private events
Special Occasions
Christmas parties, receptions, corporate events, dinners — live music elevates any occasion and lets our students earn with their dedication. A select ensemble from our orchestra will perform, so the sooner you reach out, the better we can accommodate you.

Anything
Something Else Entirely
Have a stage or event in mind that doesn't fit a neat category? We'd love to hear about it. The earlier you reach out, the more musicians we can bring.
Hands-On Support
Volunteer
Many of the things that make a concert night special happen because someone showed up to help. Most roles require no musical background — just a willingness to pitch in. But if you do play an instrument, we have a place for you too.
Concert nights
Usher & Hospitality
Help greet guests, distribute programs, manage the door, and make audiences feel welcome at our performances.
Parents
Concert Logistics & Coordination
Parent volunteers are the backbone of every performance. Help with setup, teardown, chaperoning, and behind-the-scenes coordination that keeps concert nights running smoothly.
Creative
Photography & Videography
Help us document concerts and rehearsals. Great photos and video tell our story to the community and future supporters.
Musicians
Mentor in the Orchestra
Experienced adult musicians are welcome to join as volunteer mentors, playing alongside students to strengthen the ensemble. If you play strings or another orchestral instrument and want to give back through music, reach out to us.
No Cost Required
Spread the Word
PCYO is still growing, and word of mouth is one of our most powerful tools. If you believe in what we're doing, telling others about it makes a real difference.
Students

Testimonial
Share Your Experience

No Cost Required

Our concerts are free and open to the public. We perform several times throughout the year, and one of the best ways to support PCYO is simply to attend — a full house is inspirational to our students.
