Canyon del Oro High School’s orchestra is seeking donations from the public.
The orchestra was invited to perform at the Carnegie Hall in New York City next March. The 40 students need to raise $75,000 to get there.
CDO’s orchestra was chosen to perform based on a competitive process that involved submitting videos of past performances.
