2022 Musicthon Charity

 

 

Mission Statement

The mission of the Youth Orchestra of Palm Beach County is to provide exceptional music education and performing experiences through youth development and community engagement while cultivating an appreciation of classical music within the community. 

 


Educational Program

Established as a nonprofit organization in 1993, with support from the Junior League of Boca Raton, YOPBC debuted to the public in 1994, at the annual “Spotlight on Young Musicians” concert held at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts.

Since its earliest days, YOPBC has provided high-quality music instruction and performing opportunities to young musicians from throughout Palm Beach County. Gaining visibility every year, YOPBC is highly respected in the community as a longstanding cultural arts organization.

 

Since its inception, YOPBC has welcomed children from all socio-economic groups, with approximately 25 percent from low-to-moderate income households. Believing that music education should be available to all, YOPBC provides merit and need-based scholarships. No child is turned away from YOPBC because of the inability to pay.

Our Board of Directors, Parent Association, and artistic staff are committed to providing music training at a minimal cost to the young musicians. We depend on donations, sponsorships and grant funding to support our daily operation. Our board members and parents volunteer hundreds of hours to make the organization run smoothly.
