ESYO's Fall line-up of concerts illuminates the once darkened stage and brings a triumphant tone to the audience's grand return to the ESYO Concert Hall. 

The Fall concert series kicks off at the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall on November 5, with ESYO's Symphony Orchestra performing Antonin Dvorak's joyful and euphoric Symphony No. 8.  Conducted by guest conductor and current Assistant Conductor of The Orchestra Now, Andrés Rivas, Dvorak's symphonic elegy to humankind's relationship with nature explores the passing shadows of the day while gleefully celebrating the beauty of life. The Fall series also features GRAMMY-nominated Jazz Trumpeter, Michael Rodriguez performing music by Gil Evans, Duke Ellington, Sammy Nestico, and Oliver Nelson alongside the ESYO Youth Jazz Orchestra.
