The Young Eight is a Washington State 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization of young African American string players from various music schools and conservatories across the country. The Young Eight is dedicated to exposing and educating different communities to classical music and stringed instruments.

A vast majority of the concerts and educational outreach projects The Young Eight present are free and open to the public. In order to organize and perform most of the events, funds must be raised to insure that the projects continue. The Young Eight depends on the financial support of its friends - individuals, corporations and foundations like you. You won’t want to miss the benefits of becoming a friend – invitations to rehearsals, the latest CD and a special dinner with the artists, as well as complimentary tickets to our concerts. Most importantly, you’ll gain the satisfaction of knowing that your generosity is helping sustain and nurture one of the country’s most innovative string octets. All contributions made towards The Young Eight are tax deductible. You may also download a donation form (Acrobat Reader required) to mail in your donations.

In addition, if you are interested in submitting a business advertisement for our Summer Tour 2005 or Historically Black College Tour, you may download an application form (Acrobat Reader required) to mail in your donations.  You won’t want to miss out on having your business advertised around the United States in our program book!
