It's that magical time of the year once again--PLAYATHON!! It's a fantastic opportunity to hear all our young musicians playing together in ONE location, Crossgates Mall, and to show your support for them by making a generous contribution. Your gift is absolutely critical to ensuring that we are able to continue providing outstanding experiences for our members and spreading the joy of live music performances across our region. I am so grateful to everyone who has pitched in over the years to help us out, and I hope you will consider making a gift TODAY and make a difference in the lives of so many amazing young people!
Playathon is Empire State Youth Orchestra’s most important fundraiser and friend-raiser of the year! This fun-filled day of free musical performances raises money for ESYO while showcasing the breadth and depth of our programs. It is the one day of the year when all ESYO ensembles (including CHIME) perform in one location!
Your support is needed now more than ever. The marathon display of musical talent helps ESYO ensure no qualified musician is ever turned away from the ESYO experience because of an inability to pay. The money raised will support a substantial portion of ESYO’s operating expenses and musician scholarships.
Thank you for your support of ESYO. And be sure to join us at Crossgates Mall on Saturday, March 15th from 10:30 am to 5:15 pm for PLAYATHON!!!
