MUSIC IS LIFE.

Friends...please consider donating to the Playathon, Empire State Youth Orchestra's BIG annual fundraiser. On March 15th, the students provide free ocncerts all day long at Crossgates Mall. Plan to go shopping on that day and check it out! The students are phenomenal musicians and their music is not to be missed.

ESYO needs your support to continue providing the excellent instruction that happens on a daily basis. The conductors are the most talented nationwide. Not only do these young musicians make beautiful music, they are beecoming better people through the discipline that comes from mastering their talents. They deserve our support.

Help ESYO engage, inspire and empower more kids by providing excellent instruction from exceptional teachers.

Please donate to the Playathon! 

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!!!
