It is bittersweet that we share the news that our beloved President and CEO, Cathy Weiskel, will retire in June of 2025 after nearly 28 years of inspiring leadership. Under Cathy's extraordinary guidance, BYSO has flourished, touching the lives of hundreds of young musicians and their families through the beauty and power of classical music. From countless concerts and long-standing partnerships, to the vision and creation of the BYSO Youth Center for Music, Cathy's legacy is deeply woven into the fabric of BYSO. We are immensely grateful for her vision, her unwavering commitment to the arts, and the many cherished memories she leaves behind. As we look ahead, we are excited for the future of BYSO, strengthened by the foundation Cathy has built.
"The greatest reward for me personally has been getting to know hundreds of children and their families as we shared the great gifts of classical music. It is the music that brought us together and its great power that keeps us connected now as I believe it will do in the future." - Cathy Weiskel
To celebrate her legacy, we will honor Cathy at our annual Gala on March 1, 2025 and we will continue to celebrate her throughout the season inviting community members, alumni, and supporters to honor Cathy’s extraordinary contributions and impact.
