Donate to NOTES 2023 today!

Dear Family and Friends - Thank you for visiting my EYSO NOTES page. I play the violin in the Sinfonia ensemble and in a chamber music trio with the Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra. This is my third year in EYSO and my sixth year playing the violin. I joined EYSO because I wanted to go above the standards of the level of music taught at school, and to have a better understanding of music in general. In Sinfonia, we are working on pieces by Chaminade and Bolougne.

This year, we are celebrating our 47th season with the theme Design. Today, EYSO serves nearly 400 students in 4th grade through college from 70 different communities via five orchestras, as well as percussion ensembles, Brass Choir and Flute Choir, and a thriving Chamber Music Institute. The mission of EYSO is to create a community of young musicians, enriching their lives and the lives of their families, schools, communities, and beyond, through the study and performance of excellent music. By supporting the NOTES campaign, you are impacting the lives of so many! You can learn more about us at EYSO.org.

Tuition covers only one-third of the total cost of each member’s participation in EYSO. Our NOTES campaign helps keep tuition reasonable and offsets program costs. Donations of any size can make a real impact!

In addition to offsetting the cost of tuition, the generosity of people like you also helps to:

• Provide a more diverse repertoire of music.
• Support weekly conductors and guest coaches who are leaders in the field of music education.
• Allows EYSO to have a broader reach by offering innovative community programs and initiatives.

Thank you so much for supporting the students of EYSO and the power of music education!

Once the NOTES campaign is completed, you will receive a donation acknowledgement from EYSO for tax purposes. The campaign concludes on Sunday, March 26.

I hope you will support me through my EYSO NOTES campaign.

Sincerely,

Zubin Saher
