About ESYO
Since 1934, ESYO has offered high-quality music education from beginning strings to full symphony orchestras. We work in partnership with school districts to teach String Academy classes, which include instruments and scholarships for low-income families. Students can then move up to each level of orchestra, culminating in the premier ensemble, Eugene-Springfield Youth Symphony. Other ESYO opportunities include Ambassador Musicians and many opportunities to play alongside and work with professional musicians.
ESYO is committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion, and to providing a welcoming, safe community for young musicians of all backgrounds, cultures, identities, and abilities. Students will join other youth musicians from throughout the area to learn, grow, lead and PLAY!
Eugene-Springfield Youth Orchestra’s mission is to provide opportunities for youth to experience, appreciate, and perform orchestral music.
