Donate to NOTES 2023 today!

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

This year, we are celebrating our 47th season with the theme Design. Today, EYSO serves nearly 400 students (including me!) in 4th grade through college from 70 different communities via five orchestras, as well as percussion ensembles, Brass Choir and Flute Choir. 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 young musicians like me!

I personally am involved in 2 Full Orchestras at EYSO. I play Flute in Philharmonia, and Violin in Youth Symphony. I’ve been playing instruments my since I was 3, I’ve never known a life without music. I could not imagine what my musical skill would be like without the influence without EYSO, and I want other aspiring musicians to have the opportunities I have at an affordable cost

Tuition covers only 30% 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 guest coaches and conductors 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!
