2022-2023 TUITION DUE JULY 26

ESYO strives to keep tuition costs as low as possible.  Whether you pay your tuition all at once, over time, or through tuition assistance, ESYO provides flexible, easy, and convenient ways to pay your tuition.

Do not let economic hardship be a barrier. Since our founding, ESYO has upheld an important promise to our musicians— anyone who successfully auditions for an ESYO Ensemble is able to participate, independent of financial considerations. ESYO musicians may apply for need-based tuition assistance.
