Leave a legacy.
In music, the word sostenuto is an instruction from the composer so the musician performs a passage in a prolonged or sustained manner.
As a nonprofit organization with 66+ years of service to the community, Youth Symphony of Kansas City knows a thing or two about performing over a sustained period of time.
Your support furthers our work in ensuring music education for future generations of Kansas City youth. Make your mark.
