Support the Next Generation of Chicago Musicians!
CYSO relies on the generosity of sponsors to make our international tours possible for many of our families. All student participation is heavily subsidized, with approximately 45% of students receiving significant financial assistance.
By sponsoring the CYSO international tour, you have the opportunity to reach engaged audiences in Chicago and abroad. Corporate sponsors have the unique opportunity to connect their brands with cross-cultural exchange and support transformative experiences for students.
Tour sponsors will receive a print ad in both our 2027 Tour of Greece program books, estimated to reach 7,500+ international audience members, as well as CYSO‘s annual season program book to reach 6,000+ Chicago patrons each season.

CYSO Tour Fundraising Toolkit
Touring with CYSO was the opportunity of a lifetime. I gained insight about new cultures, created friendships, and most importantly, I learned so much about myself. It’s still the greatest thing I’ve taken part in.
