ESYO

ESYO is incorporated as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit that is largely supported by private funding from individuals, corporations, and foundations, and is governed by a volunteer board of directors. Although the music education/performance schedule follows the school year, the administrative office is open throughout the year... ESYO has provided outstanding music training and performance opportunities for young musicians since 1979. Beginning with a small, single orchestra forty years ago, ESYO has grown to include twelve performing ensembles, wind and brass choirs, and a free music-training program called CHIME. ESYO players are afforded exceptional learning opportunities with professional musicians, renowned conductors and passionate teaching artists. Combined, ESYO's performing ensembles offer more than thirty public performances each year at a variety of venues including Troy Savings Bank Music Hall, the Massry Center, Arthur Zankel Music Center, Proctors, and Carnegie Hall.
