Help us get to Istanbul!
Make a donation today to help VYC represent Canada on the world stage.
Each choir selected to perform at the Symposium is among the best in the world. We are so incredibly proud of the hard work our singers have put in to reach this level, and we can’t wait to represent Canada on the world stage!
Our singers are university and high school students with part-time jobs, trying to make ends meet in this incredibly expensive city. Asking them to pay thousands of dollars for travel is out of the question.
We are determined to help make this opportunity possible by raising $126,000 to cover the cost of airfare for each of the 70 singers in the choir. While this is ambitious, these singers have worked so hard, and they truly deserve our support! Please donate if you’re able.
Donations
Like so many arts organizations, VYC has had to quickly adapt and change in order to weather the storm of COVID-19. Thanks to the dedication of our singers and staff, and the generous contributions of our patrons, we were able to endure concert cancellations, outdoor and online rehearsals, and almost two years without a live performance.
Now, as we look to the future, VYC wants to do more than rebuild – we want to thrive. Please consider donating your time or funding to VYC, and help us continue to foster the artistry and community of the almost 300 singers in our organization. Your patronage directly supports VYC’s mandate: to develop creative, caring citizens who value contributing to and investing in their communities.
Thank you to our loyal donors and sponsors for supporting the amazing work of the young singers in VYC. It is so clear the difference that music makes in the lives of these young people, and we are so grateful for your help in making their success possible.
