Hi, I'm Joe, and this is my third year in the ESYO Symphony Orchestra. Over the last few years, I have made some of the best friendships, all while learning incredible things about music. 100% of proceeds from this page go to better the music program and lower tuition costs for young musicians who may not have the financial resources to participate. Even a small donation can significantly impact our orchestra's ability to flourish and continue bringing the gift of music to our community. Thank you for your consideration.

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!!!
