Thank you for taking the time to donate to ESYO (Empire State Youth Orchestra)! We appreciate your support, and invite you to come to our concerts to enjoy some good music, of many styles, and check out Playathon at Crossgates on March 15.

ESYO has helped me grow vastly as a musician, and with your help, many others will be able to partake in the program as well. Our goal as a group is $137,000, and everything helps. More than 50% of ESYO's budget is due to donations from people like you, which helps keep tution low and makes ESYO more accessible. We have more than 500 musicians in 12 ensembles, and a free afterschool orchestra as well!

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!!!
