DAAYO’s Mission

Since its inception in 1998, DAAYO’s mission as a nonprofit has been to develop youths of high musical ability and outstanding character through a musically advanced, professionally run youth orchestra which delights and serves the North Texas community. Our orchestra features a distinctive Asian flair to its repertoire, and is comprised of youths from all cultural backgrounds.
