ESYO’s mission is to provide opportunities for youth
to experience, appreciate, and perform orchestral music.
OVER 400 students are part of this year’s special anniversary season!
- We’re introducing the world of strings to 225 children through String Academy – beginning classes at 13 different elementary schools.
- Our two string orchestras give 83 more young musicians a chance to play at the next level in an ensemble with their peers
- Junior Orchestra offers 47 middle and high-school students a full symphony orchestra experience, with winds, brass and percussion and a variety of challenging music. Chris Noel, and ESYO alumni, conducts this training group.
- EYSO’s premier ensemble, the Eugene-Springfield Youth Symphony, consists of 50 of the finest youth musicians in the area. Dr. David Jacobs leads this full symphony orchestra, performing unabridged works and complete symphonies
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!

Elin is my great-granddaughter. You are doing a fantastic work. The music is so beautiful. Since I am in Idaho, I only get to enjoy the concerts virtually. Thank you.
Your impressive organization was presented today to the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (osher.uoregon.edu), and you have my highest admiration for presenting these programs. I live in Sisters, but I look forward to listening to your concerts online. You are to be commended for this wonderful organization!
