Bellevue Youth Symphony Orchestra (BYSO) raised $20,000 at its Spring Breakfast Fundraiser on Friday, April 18 at the downtown Bellevue Hyatt Regency Hotel. Attendees included Bellevue Mayor Claudia Balducci and City Council members Conrad Lee, Lynne Robinson and John Stokes.

Funds raised will go to provide tuition assistance, instrument coaching, performance experience and other services for young orchestral musicians. The organization is made up of six orchestras and three small ensembles serving musicians ages six to 19.

The orchestra will present a concert by its top-tier ensemble, the Youth Symphony, on May 11. Selections from Wagner and Moncayo will be featured. More information is available at byso.org.
