SPONSORS The Orange County Youth
Symphony Orchestra is very proud to be sponsored by the following
organizations and wishes to acknowledge the vital role they play
in making our orchestra and our performances possible. Las Campanas is a countywide organization that raises funds for programs, which promote the cultural enrichment of Orange County's youth. Their support of the Orange County Youth Symphony Orchestra makes possible a major orchestral experience for the best of Orange County's young musicians in an ensemble which studies, rehearses and performs the master composers of the past and the leading composers of today. Through the support
of Las Campanas, Orange County audiences have the opportunity to
hear one of the finest youth orchestras in the nation, both in public
concerts and in Young People's Concerts, which are presented in
the Orange County Performing Arts Center each year for the benefit
of students in Orange County schools. The Orange County Department of Education serves as a center for educational leadership and coordination in order to provide the broadest possible range of services the students in Orange County schools. The Department of Education is responsible for the interpretation and enforcement of state law as directed by the legislature, the State Board of Education and the State Department of Education. In addition, the department provides many services which individual school districts would be unable to support. The Orange County Department of Education has emerged as a vital agency, which works to assure that the residents of Orange County will have an educational program of the highest quality. The Orange County Department of education was one of the founding sponsors of the Orange County Youth Symphony Orchestra in 1970.
The mission of the Conservatory of Music at Chapman University is to provide an outstanding education for the professional and intellectual development of artists and scholars in a supportive, rigorous liberal arts environment that enriches the human mind and spirit. The Conservatory of music offers the bachelor of arts in music and pre-professional programs leading to the bachelor of music in composition, music education, and performance (conducting, instrumental, keyboard collaborative arts and vocal). Chapman University first offered the bachelor of music degree in 1930-31, and has striven to present thorough music curricula, blended with liberal learning ever since. The university’s music facilities compare with institutions far larger in size and offer a fine setting for both instruction and musical presentations. The Conservatory of Music is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music.
The goal of the Friends of the OCYSO is to provide both financial and organizational support for the Orange County Youth Symphony Orchestra. Through direct donations and fundraising activities, this group has become a major fundraising arm of the orchestra. Their efforts provide monies for the annual fall auditions, concert programs, newsletters and promotional materials. They also support special workshops and master classes for orchestra members. In addition, all orchestra trips are partially underwritten by the Friends, which substantially reduce the cost to individual orchestra members and their families. Members of the Friends
also donate their time to help with concert performances, retreats
and tours. In addition, they organize and host after-concert receptions
and dinners. This dedicated group provides all of the behind-the-scenes
effort required to make the OCYSO a first-class youth symphony orchestra.
