About Bravo!:

Bravo members are passionate donors to San Diego Youth Symphony (SDYS) who believe that music education is a doorway to opportunity for children, and that every child deserves access to quality programs. Our goal is to reach 100 members to raise $40,000 annually to support SDYS programs in Balboa Park and SDYS’ neighborhood engagement strategies throughout San Diego County.

Benefits:

Invitations to three Socials each season. These intimate performances feature some of our most accomplished musicians in premier venues. Guests enjoy small bites and wine upon arrival, and a reception following the performance with coffee and dessert.
Preferred seating at all SDYS concerts.
Friendship with other Bravo! members who believe in the lifelong value of music education.
