A space where creativity, collaboration, and community come together.
For more than 40 years, the Empire State Youth Orchestra (ESYO) has inspired hundreds of young musicians to find their voice through music. Now, with your help, we’re building a home worthy of their talent and dreams — The Center for Musical Youth, a vibrant, accessible, and acoustically state-of-the-art campus located at 45 MacArthur Drive in Schenectady County.
Thanks to remarkable generosity and public support, we’ve already secured $10.3 million toward our $12.3 million goal. Now, we need your help to cross the finish line and make this extraordinary space a reality.
Every gift — large or small — helps shape the sound of the future.
