NOTES 2024: Prelude

Hello! My name is Morgan Firak and I am a part of the orchestra group Prelude. Each year, EYSO has a fundraiser to help keep EYSO's tuition low so that more music lovers are able to join. EYSO is a non-profit organization that encourages young music makers to express themselves and have incredible experiences that we will remember forever! EYSO is only able to achieve this with donors like you! This is my first season with EYSO and I've already have had some many wonderful experiences. Each Sunday I am able to rehearse with others who have the same musical passion as me. My favorite memory I have made with EYSO so far is at our fall camp. At first I was nervous and sacred but as the day went on Ms. Ferguson encouraged us to meet new people and feel the music for our upcoming concert. Everybody at the camp was so kind at giving us a warm welcome and making us feel like a musical family! Please help us keep EYSO a organization that helps students achieve their music goals!

Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestras is collecting donations as part of our annual fundraising campaign: NOTES 2024. This campaign runs from March 24 to May 5, 2024.

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.

Now in our 48^th season, 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!
