This year marks my second Playathon with ESYO. As a former student musician, I know first-hand how impactful music education can be on a young person's life. Music has always been a safe space, a stress reliever, an important expressive outlet, and simply a joy. Please join me by donating to ESYO today and give the gift of music to the Capital Region's youth. It's a gift that will last them a lifetime.
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!!!
