Our Annual Brown Bag Recital, August 2026
Fun and Unusual non-conducted concert in the round.
Westside Community and Youth Orchestra is a unique opportunity for musicians (young and old) and community members to come together and enjoy classical music in a safe, comfortable and free setting.
We never charge our musicians nor our audiences for anything.
Consequently it is imperative to seek voluntary donations from everyone who can afford to give anything in order to insure our continued success and future classical music concerts to our community and keeping classical music available to the masses.
We invite you to make a difference and join our most worthy cause and donate today either through our website via the QR Codes below or through our Go Fund Me Campaign at
Thank you so much for your consideration!
We appreciate it more than you know!
Donations & Community Support
Our orchestra relies entirely on community donations and grants to present our free concerts. As we do not charge our audience for attending, nor musicians for playing in the orchestra, yet donations are an essential for us to continue to perform.
We've been honored to receive generous donations in the past and also rely on our community to support us with grants and sponsorships.
Please consider donating any amount, large or small, as every dollar helps.
Here are some suggested donations:
