Musical Pathways Initiative
DYAO is committed to breaking down barriers to high quality musical training. As is often the case, this goes beyond tuition assistance for participation in our programs. Our Musical Pathways Initiative serves as additional support to qualifying DYAO musicians in four key areas: concert attire, rehearsal and concert transportation, instrument essentials, and private lesson fees.
Contribute to this Initiative by selecting “Musical Pathways” in the campaign section of the donation form located above.

DYAO is proud to partner with corporate businesses, large and small, regional and national, who are passionate about music and education. We have special benefits available at different giving levels and are also happy to customize benefits for individual businesses for a more meaningful relationship.

Noteworthy Funds
The Wippler Fund
Harold & Charleen Wippler were cornerstones of the musical community in Denver for many decades as gifted violinists in both the Denver Symphony and Colorado Symphony Orchestras. As one of the longest-tenured musicians, Charleen’s dedicated and inspiring career covered a span of 50 years. Harold served as concertmaster of the DSO for many years. He likewise touched countless lives as an outstanding teacher and mentor, and continued to do so well into his eighties.
In honor of Harold and Charleen, the family has established a scholarship fund with the Denver Young Artists Orchestra, where many of Harold’s students participated and enhanced their musical journeys. Both Harold and Charleen were advocates of musical opportunities, and Harold was also instrumental in starting the Denver Young Artists Orchestra. To celebrate and continue the Wippler blessing and legacy, the family welcomes donations to the Harold & Charleen Wippler Violin Scholarship Fund at the Denver Young Artists Orchestra.
Contribute to this fund using the donation form above and select “Wippler Fund” when making your gift.
