A special thank you to the following foundations for their unwavering support this season:
- Rea Charitable Trust- $50,000
- Carnegie Hall PlayUSA- $10,000
- Barry Alan Gold Memorial Fund- $5,000
- D’Addario Foundation- $3,500
“ESYO is particularly grateful for the foundational support we’ve received from the many local, regional, and national foundations who’ve invested in the personal growth of our musicians and their joyful pursuit of musical excellence,” said Rebecca Calos, ESYO’s Executive Director.
The investment from these foundations comes at a critical time as ESYO and conductor Etienne Abelin begin their first season together. The support allows ESYO to continue CHIME, its afterschool partnership in Schenectady; record and broadcast virtual concerts; welcome audiences back to the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall; and nurture the growth of young musicians in New York’s Capital and Hudson Valley regions, as well as western Massachusetts, and Southern Vermont.
