Our goal is to ensure that future generations will enjoy the legacy of live orchestral and choral music that so magnificently celebrates the human spirit. 

Artistic and musical organizations like the VSA rely on the patronage and support of the communities they serve. With your support, the VSA will continue to provide the Western Slope communities with the incredible value of a thriving musical community.

Music encourages a vibrant economy. Nonprofit arts events attendees spend an average of $25 per person, in addition to their ticket, on meals, childcare, and other related expenses.

Music provides a platform for students to achieve higher academic success. The Valley Youth Orchestra fosters creativity and promotes academic excellence in our next generation. Americans for the Arts reports that children involved in music have a lower dropout rate, higher GPA, and higher SAT scores than their counterparts.

Music fosters empathy and a connection between humans. Experiencing beauty and music together brings us closer by providing a setting for shared experiences and a sense of community.

Music supports enrichment and culture in a community. A vibrant arts community lets us express our values and build bridges between cultures, generations, religions, and ethnicities.

Music sparks creativity and innovation. We believe that music is fundamental to our humanity. Music inspires and enriches us— fostering creativity and beauty. Music brings us joy, helps us express our values, and opens our hearts to greatness.

We encourage you to help us advance the mission of the VSA through your contribution of time, talent, expertise, resources, and ambassadorship.
