Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra Launches Kickstarter to Fund Holland Tour

By: Tyler Peterson Apr. 24, 2013

Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra (BPYO) has launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund their tour of Holland in June. The campaign is 5% funded with three weeks to go. If they're successful, this will be one of the largest classical music projects in Kickstarter history. But if they don't reach our goal, they get nothing!

For the Kickstarter campaign, click here.

Two important things to keep in mind about the Kickstarter campaign:
- The goal for this campaign is $35k
- The deadline for reaching the $35k goal is May 15

BPYO is funded entirely by donations from supporters in the Boston area. The total cost to the orchestra of the tour is $350,000. As of now, BPYO has raised $210,000, with $140,000 to go. Your contribution helps fund airfare, ground transportation, hostel accommodations, hall rental, marketing for the concerts, and meals for the orchestra.

In addition, your contribution supports a message that classical music is alive and flourishing now and will be for generations to come.
