Q&A with Youth Orchestras of San Antonio (YOSA)
How is the grant from Impact SA helping YOSA?
Funding from Impact San Antonio helps YOSA serve our mission of changing lives by providing shared musical experiences that unlock possibility and foster belonging for youth of all backgrounds.
Thanks to the generosity of Impact San Antonio, YOSA provides transformative music experiences to more than 2,500 young musicians ages 8-20 through YOSA Orchestras, YOSA Summer Symphony Camp, and YOSA School Partnerships.
YOSA has eleven orchestras that serve young musicians including two advanced orchestras, a wind ensemble, flute choir, Mariachi, and six levels of strings.
What is coming up that you want to tell Impact San Antonio members about?
YOSA is looking forward to hosting the final concert of the year with the presentation of “Firebird Dance” on May 11, 2025 at the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts. This performance will feature a partnership with the San Antonio Youth Ballet, plus the winner of the YOSA Concerto Competition, Helen Lan, on flute. We encourage you all to join us!
How do you feel about Impact San Antonio and what they do for our community?
Impact San Antonio is an incredible group of philanthropically minded women who prioritize giving back to the greater San Antonio community. We are so inspired by the commitment of Impact San Antonio members who make lasting investments in the San Antonio community. YOSA is so proud to be a partner with Impact San Antonio as we work to change kids’ lives through music.
