About WYSO
WYSO’s mission is to enrich lives by providing transformational musical experiences and opportunities to youth from 5-18 years of age. WYSO brings together youth from all communities, races, and ethnic backgrounds in southern Wisconsin: 30% of the student members are Asian, 10% are LatinX, and 8% are Black, including immigrants. One hundred and seventy-three WYSO musicians speak a language at home other than English. With this exceptional diversity is an opportunity to celebrate cross-cultural friendships, with music as the connector, enhancing both quality of life, and brain health with just two years of instrumental musical study.
WYSO has recently completed a spectacular 40,000 square foot facility - a permanent home for generations of musicians that can be used by all in the community. Building upon the vision of founder Professor Marvin Rabin over fifty years ago, WYSO will continue to draw young musicians from southern Wisconsin to participate in programming under one magnificent roof in an acoustically sensitive, light-filled space. Over 20 rooms support three full orchestras, two string orchestras, a chamber music program, a harp program, a percussion ensemble, a brass choir program, and the WYSO Music Makers program, which removes economic barriers to participation through donor-supported sliding scale fees for weekly private and group lessons on strings, guitar and percussion.
