Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra hasn't added a story.
Hi, ,
You are receiving this letter because you are important to me and my family, and you love music.
I am asking you to help support the Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra (EYSO) with their annual fundraising campaign, NOTES. Our goal is to raise $65,000 and my personal goal is to raise $250. The money raised will help with the costs of tuition for families in financial need. About 35% of EYSO members receive some form of need-based tuition assistance. EYSO has twice been named “Youth Orchestra of the Year” by the Illinois Council of Orchestras.
I joined EYSO this year to get more experience playing in an advanced orchestra with winds, brass, percussion, and even a harp. I was lucky enough to make it into the Philharmonia orchestra, where everyone has played for five years or more, like me. Philharmonia sounds really great. We learn a lot about the background stories of the music we are playing, and the repertoire is challenging but beautiful. I’m learning how to play much more musically and not just the notes on the page. Our conductor Mr. Krempa is really funny and inspiring, and I’ve made a lot of new friends. It makes the 60 minute car rides to and from Elgin worth it. The three hours I spend there every Sunday flies by.
For the spring concert, I am sitting as the Principal 2nd violinist for the full orchestra and the select Chamber Orchestra.
Here are the youtube links to a piece the full orchestra is playing, Khachaturian’s Masquerade Suite:

and the Chamber Orchestra's piece, the 2nd Movement of Beethoven’s 7th Symphony:

If you want to hear OUR orchestras play these songs live, come to Elgin Community College on Sunday March 15th at 2:00 or 4:30pm for our concert.
My mom also attached a video of a recital piece I played last year. You don't need to watch it, but if you did, I hope you liked it.
I am hoping you can donate $3 or $5. Or feel free to make a check out to "EYSO" and give it to me or my mom.
Thanks for helping me out!
