Orchestral music, made here.
To champion and leave a legacy of orchestral music in our communities.
What we do
Three ways in
Concerts
Four productions a season, from an amphitheater evening under the stars to a black-tie gala. Tickets are affordable, and the Historic Yuma Theater is a beautiful room.
Lessons
String instruction for every age and level, taught on Thursdays at Yuma High School. Beginner through advanced, with tuition help available.
Ensembles
Three performing groups — the Civic Orchestra, Civic Light Orchestra, and the String Ambassadors — give players of every level a stage.
Why it matters
Fifty years of showing up
Yuma Orchestra Association is run by volunteers, donors, and families who believe a symphony orchestra belongs in a city our size. Ticket sales cover part of the cost. The rest comes from people like you.
