Hello my name is Nathaniel Davison, and I am in the Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra (EYSO). I play the violin in the Philharmonia Orchestra and in a String Quintet in the Chamber Music Institute. Right now, we are doing our one and only financial campaign called the Notes Campaign.

Playing in the EYSO has been a great experience. Taking part in the Prelude, Sinfonia, and now the Philharmonia Orchestra has challenged my playing abilities and has made me a better violinist. I have enjoyed playing with such talented and focused musicians. Our concert theme for the year has not only exposed me to composers and pieces I would otherwise not have the opportunity to play, but has educated me on the role of music and how it moves. Through this theme we get to play all kinds of music to the chaotic Short Ride in a Fast Machine to the slow increasing crescendo in Bolero and the many changes in speed in the Russian Sailors Dance. With our new pieces from Swan Lake we also get exposure to ballet and how to do it, we even get to work with a professional ballerino Luis Vazquez, whom we’ll be meeting in one of our upcoming rehearsals.

The Notes Campaign helps supplement the entrance fee for every musician throughout the EYSO organization. I know that you are asked to support many worthy organizations and cause throughout the year, and I appreciate you considering a small financial gift to the EYSO through the Notes Campaign.

Thank you for your support in the past and again for considering making a donation to the Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra
