Play It Forward: 50th Anniversary Campaign

Join us in celebrating GTCYS’ 50th Anniversary as we set the stage for the next 50 years of music, mentorship, and community. Every gift to the Play It Forward campaign – be it $50 or $5,000 – impacts students through GTCYS’ access, diversity, excellence, and enrichment initiatives.

Whether you make a first-time gift or add on to your annual fund gift, the outcomes are the same: More music. More voices. More opportunities. Learn more about the campaign here.

Play it forward today!
