Donate to NOTES 2023!

EYSO's Philharmonia 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!

I have joined EYSO in Sophomore year, since then I found the best way to express emotions and feelings through the art of music with minimal to no words. The music that we play has been nothing but rewarding to watch all of the audience members from the stage and the applause. Your support helps make the Symphony whole whether it is offsetting the costs for tuition, or funding the many different music scores that all the orchestras will play over the course of the season.

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! Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra
