For nearly fifty years, Empire State Youth Orchestra has helped young people discover confidence, friendship, purpose, and belonging through music.
Now, for the first time in our history, we’re creating a permanent home—a place designed specifically for young musicians to learn, rehearse, perform, create, and grow.
At the heart of this new home will be The Building Harmony Score—a one-of-a-kind work of art created by the very community that made it possible.
Composed of hundreds of engraved musical elements, the Building Harmony Score celebrates the people who believe in the power of music to shape lives, strengthen communities, and inspire future generations.
There are countless reasons to add your note to the Building Harmony Score. You may wish to celebrate a student, honor a teacher, recognize your family, remember someone special, or simply express your belief in the power of music.
Whatever inspires your gift, your chosen musical element will become a permanent part of Building Harmony—a lasting reminder that this home was built by a community that believes in young people
A meaningful way to celebrate a student, honor a teacher or support future musicians.
