Championship gifts start at $1,500 a year, and in addition to receiving all the benefits of AYS membership, Champions can also choose to sponsor an AYS musician, a concert, or guest artist to be featured at one of AYS’ concerts! As a Champion, you will even have the opportunity to name a chair in the orchestra or be recognized as a concert sponsor. Learn more about becoming a Champion.
