What is a Virtual Concert Hall?
COVID-19 has shuttered concert halls across the region while ghost lights 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 and relive the "best of" ESYO moments online in our Virtual Concert Hall.
