Donate to NOTES 2023 today!

My Story:

I believe in the story of EYSO. Their message is to bring music to the students and to the people of this community, and I appreciate them for that. A donation to the EYSO helps all students, as your money will go to the offices where they can use funds to provide services for us, such as lowering costs and purchasing new and exciting music for us to play.

When I started at EYSO, it was in the Chamber summer camp in 2020. I learned a lot about playing music and working in small groups in that time, and it inspired me to join the EYSO when it started up.

My experience with EYSO since then has been entirely positive. As I'm sure most other students will agree, this place is special because it does a lot of good for people my age to share something together, especially music, which is a key part of a person's identity. Your donation allows students like me to express themselves and share this community that EYSO has created for us.

More Information:

EYSO's Youth Symphony is collecting donations as part of our annual fundraising campaign: NOTES. This campaign runs from January 22 to March 26.

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!

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!
