In March, COVID-19 shuttered concert halls and closed theatre’s across the country. ESYO moved online and hosted its first-ever digital music festival on YouTube and Facebook Watch.
Now, ESYO is back, at the Tutti! Virtual Festival. Over two weekends and eight live-recorded concerts, twelve ESYO Ensembles return to the stage to perform the music you love, all together! Enjoy each performance from the comfort of your own home with ESYO’s Virtual Concert Hall. All concerts are live recorded on the Mainstage at Proctors.
Virtual tickets are on sale now at esyo.org/tickets. Purchase three or more Festival Concerts for as little as $25 or donate what you would typically spend on attending a LIVE concert.
December 2020 marks Beethoven’s 250th Birthday
Few composers changed the course of western music history like Ludwig van Beethoven. Today, he remains one of the world’s most admired and recognizable composers. Having started composing in 1783 at 12 years old, Beethoven composed over 770 pieces of music, including nine famous symphonies. Could you imagine writing over 17 chart-topping hits every year for 44 years? Well, from concert halls to cartoons and TV commercials, Beethoven’s music ranks amongst the most performed of the classical repertoire.
Celebrate the genius of Beethoven on Thursday, December 3, 2020 with ESYO at the Tutti! Virtual Festival. Music Director Carlos Ágreda and ESYO Symphony Orchestra’s Symphony Classical return to the stage to perform Beethoven’s Symphony No. 1, just days before Beethoven’s 250th Birthday.

COVID-19 has shuttered concert halls across the region, and ghost lights have watched over the empty stages. Fueled by their passion and determination to make music, ESYO musicians are back together again and bringing joy by performing the music they love. Our in-person gatherings may look different, but ESYO continues to resonate together on-stage and online.
While we cannot perform for audiences now, you
can watch full ESYO concerts online in our Virtual Concert Hall.
