For over 30 years the City of Sheffield Youth Orchestra has introduced thousands of young people to orchestral playing. With all the experiences and joy this can bring, the City of Sheffield Youth Orchestra has had a profound effect on a countless number of children and young people.

 

However, without the unstinting support of the Friends of CSYO, who look after the funding for the Orchestra, giving the gift of these experiences would not have been possible.

 

In recent years, the costs of much of the work done by the City of Sheffield Youth Orchestra have risen. In particular, the cost of running orchestral courses for the young musicians has increased significantly. Despite this the Friends of CSYO have worked tirelessly to keep bringing the joy of orchestral playing to the next generation to all. With your help it will keep doing so for years to come.
