All Announcements
Dear ESYO Friends and Family-
ESYO is staying home now, so we can perform together later. But, this doesn't mean that ESYO has stopped - we've gone online.
Our conductors and teaching artists are using techniques familiar to their students and are giving listening exercises, practice challenges, and general support online using outstanding virtual platforms. Our goal is to keep our musicians as active and engaged as possible, online.
Starting April 6, 2020, Google Classroom will be the hub for all ESYO ensemble communication and online learning.
When the time is right we will return to the rehearsal room. Until then, we look forward to connecting with you online.

All our very best,

- We are challenged to learn - but not in a classroom
- We are challenged to practice - but not with a stand partner
- We are challenged to listen - but not to a conductor on a podium
- We are challenged to engage - but not face to face
- We are challenged to stay motivated in an environment where we might feel isolated and alone, but we know that we are not.
We hope you will join us in our endeavors to continue to move forward in a brand new environment. Maybe you cannot teach virtually, or aid in a students' practice, or help them listen more effectively, but you can wish us well, and follow our updates! You can let us know what YOU are doing to "stay on track" during this challenging time! It is not familiar, but we are committed.
Now. The spring. We are indeed postponing our spring concerts and events, but wait until you see what's next! We look forward to a big celebration bash when the time is right, and rest assured you will be at the top of the invite list! Our creative hats are on, and we are planning already. Got any ideas? Throw them our way! We'll put them in the mix and see what comes out on top.
Stay healthy - stay safe - stay committed - stay motivated. We'll do the same.
All our very best
- The ESYO Team
