Hi!  I'm Zoey and I'm raising money for the Empire State Youth Orchestra!  If you don't know me, know that my passions are MUSIC and Softball!  I play the Bass Clarinet in the Wind Ensemble for ESYO, as well as in my school band and jazz band.  I'm also big into orchestra too and play the Bass and Violin for orchestra!  I love music, I practice constantly, and when I'm not playing my instruments, I'm playing softball for the travel team I'm on.  ESYO heavily relies on donations for the organization to offer programs like the one I'm in.  If fact, without donor support I would not be a part of the Wind Ensemble because they offer scholarships and financial aid to parents and families.  This is an amazing opportunity for me, and I appreciate your support of this awesome organization!

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!!!
