Orchestra sponsors
Without very generous and loyal sponsors, the UYO could not function. We are therefore extremely grateful to many sponsors and other supporters who enable the UYO to rehearse and perform each year.
We have listed below our main sponsors and the names of some the others who have helped UYO over the past few years. Many sponsors provide regular support. We draw special attention to the ongoing support of our foundation sponsors, Danny’s Music World/World of Music, and Danny and Joyce Roguski, who support hireage of our rehearsal venue.
