Progressions, a part of MYSO’s innovative Community Partnership Programs, is an immersive string training program, which provides private instruction and orchestral training in violin, viola, cello, and bass to school-nominated third and fourth grade students who have limited musical experience and live in or attend a school in the City of Milwaukee.

Founded in 2003, Progressions has received national support and recognition. MYSO was named a National Arts and Humanities Youth Arts Program Award Winner for its work through Progressions as well as the 2014 Eureka Award from the Milwaukee Business Journal. The program also received funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and the League of American Orchestras.

One of the primary aims of Progressions is increased participation in MYSO by students from urban populations that face barriers of access and equity in music study.

Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra gratefully acknowledges the National Endowment for the Arts, the Milwaukee Arts Board, MPS Partnership for the Arts and Humanities, and the United Performing Arts Fund, for their generous support of this program.

Donations to MYSO are the crucial funding source that allow us to nurture, challenge, and inspire young minds, profoundly changing lives and our community for the better. We are tremendously grateful for these gifts.

This list recognizes gifts of $250 or more that were received from July 1, 2021 – May 3, 2022. Our apologies for any omissions or errors. We encourage you to call Emma Kunz, Philanthropy Operations Manager, at 414-267-2943 with questions or corrections—or to learn how to make a much-appreciated gift to MYSO.
