ESYO 360 is a celebration at Proctors in Schenectady on May 17th of the past, present, and future of Empire State Youth Orchestras (ESYO).
The concert will feature all nine of ESYO's performing groups - playing a wide variety of music - jazz, band, classical, percussion. The grand finale will have 350 musicians - current ESYO musicians and ESYO alumni - all on the stage performing at the same time!
Helen Cha-Pyo is the Music Director and Conductor of ESYO and she joins us now along with Hannah Dick, principal timpanist and a percussionist in ESYO’s Youth Orchestra.
Hannah is the 2015 winner of ESYO’s Lois Lyman Concerto Competition; this past Saturday she performed Rosauro’s Concerto for Marimba and Orchestra at ESYO’s Youth Orchestra concert at Troy Savings Bank Music Hall.
