For 70 years, the Albuquerque Youth Symphony Program has provided high-quality music education and performance experience to thousands of students in the Albuquerque area. What began in 1955 as a single orchestra has steadily and sustainably grown to serve over 400 students annually. Hundreds of students in grades 4-12 audition each season for placement in one of the program's 8 ensembles for strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion. It is thanks to numerous individuals each season - talented musical staff, administrative staff, board members, community partners, parents, and students - that AYSP continues a tradition of excellence in music education and performance. Thank you for supporting the Albuquerque Youth Symphony Program!

A huge thank you to this year’s raffle sponsors!
