Conductor’s Circle

WYSO invites you to join our monthly giving club, The Conductor’s Circle. This group of donors is made up of individuals who believe in the power of music to shape confident, creative, and resilient young people.

Recurring monthly gifts allow WYSO to budget more effectively, let you spread out your giving, and help cut our costs. Joining is simple and flexible, and you’re always in control of your giving. You choose an amount that feels right for you, and your monthly gift is processed automatically each month until you decide to adjust it.

Members of the Conductor’s Circle receive invitations to special WYSO events, complimentary tickets to WYSO concerts upon request, and recognition in our concert programs. Most importantly, you’ll know that every month, you are supporting WYSO’s mission of enriching lives by providing transformational musical experiences and opportunities.

Thank you for making a difference!

“If you believe wholeheartedly in the mission of WYSO as I do, please join the Conductor’s Circle as a monthly sustainer. Automated payments are so easy and convenient. This reliable stream of income helps WYSO focus on what matters most: making a difference in the lives of young musicians they serve!”

“When I moved to Madison from West Michigan in the summer of 2025, I knew I wanted to continue my lifelong support of music organizations and activities in meaningful ways. When I was introduced to WYSO and its excellent programs, staff, and facilities, I knew I had landed in the best place possible to contribute to keeping music education available to so many young musicians. I truly believe music education is fundamental to learning — teaching life skills, teamwork, and a sense of community — and so importantly, the joy of music-making. What a blessing to the community! That is why I have happily chosen to make a monthly gift to WYSO.”
