Dear Friend of FASO, 

It’s been an incredible year for FASO with our Junior Orchestra and Youth String Ensembles winning top awards and FASO winning the Esprit de Corps award at the Festival of Music at Knotts Berry Farm! This would not have been possible without the support of donors like yourself. 

In this respect, we request again for your support in donation and seek your partnership to grow FASO’s Education and Outreach program to more underserved communities in SoCal and beyond. 

For 16 years, FASO has enriched lives in Southern California by providing music education programs and opportunities, having an impact on:

Engaged more than 1,000 youth

Presented over 20 symphony concerts 

Premiered over 100 original Filipino compositions

Engaged over 2,000 artists 

Reached over 5 million audiences locally and globally.

We at FASO are truly grateful to have you as a partner, in believing in our mission to build a cultural legacy for next generations of Filipinos growing up outside of the Philippines. As Filipinos continue to be a force globally, positive cultural representation in the arts become even more crucial to building a cohesive community wherever in the world Filipinos make their home. 

To continue this work into the global community, we hope you would consider making a donation on this page to promote music education for all.

Maraming Salamat Po (Many Thanks), 

Jilly Canizares

Executive Director
