Celebrating 43 Years of Musical Excellence and a New Chapter of Growth
As we proudly enter our 43rd season, the York County Choral Society (YCCS) is thrilled to announce the establishment of the YCCS Legacy Fund—made possible through a generous $50,000 donation from one of our own dedicated members. This incredible gift is the foundation of a fund that will help sustain, grow, and celebrate the legacy of choral music in York County for generations to come.
Since our founding in 1981, YCCS has been a pillar of the performing arts community, committed to delivering outstanding choral performances that enrich the lives of both performers and audiences. With over 100 concerts to date, YCCS continues to uphold its mission: to honor our past, impact the present, and help shape the future of the arts in our community.
The Purpose of the Legacy Fund
The Legacy Fund is designed to propel YCCS into a new era, providing critical resources for:
- Growth opportunities that expand our reach and impact.
- Matching grant initiatives that amplify the value of every contribution.
- Enhanced community partnerships and performances that elevate our regular season and bring unforgettable music to new audiences.
This fund is not simply a financial reserve; it’s a catalyst for progress and innovation within YCCS, allowing us to engage in remarkable projects that otherwise would not be possible.
