Hello!

My name is Amelia and I am Youth Symphony’s one and only (literally!) keyboardist. I cover piano, harp, celesta, organ and sometimes even synthesizer parts in the pieces we play. This is my second year in EYSO, and the organization has truly impacted me. Orchestral music is an important passion in my life, but pianists are rarely ever needed in orchestras. EYSO has given me the chance to play music I love on the instrument I love. Through EYSO, I’ve had the opportunity to play with many orchestras/ensembles, chamber music groups, as well as guest artists. I’m grateful to spend my Sundays creating music, and proud to be a member of Youth Symphony. Each week I learn something new about music and how it affects us and the world we live in. At EYSO we dive deep into why composers wrote what they wrote, and how we have to present that to audiences. This type of thinking and way of analyzing has not only heightened my musical maturity, but has spilled into my personal and academic life. EYSO isn’t only about making music, but about being a part of a community. I’ve met great musicians and made amazing friends in EYSO that have enriched my life. Everyone is connected by a shared passion for music, and in a sense we’re a family. Thank you for supporting the family that has such a positive impact on me!
