2025 NOTES Campaign

January 26- March 23


Tuition only covers 30% of the total cost of each member's participation in EYSO. 

NOTES is EYSO's largest student-driven fundraiser, dedicated to keeping tuition affordable so that every aspiring musician has the opportunity to participate. This year’s campaign runs from January 26 to March 23, with a goal of $57,000. Did you know tuition covers only one-third of the actual cost? Your support helps bridge the gap.

Through the NOTES campaign, EYSO families raise vital funds by reaching out to family, friends, coworkers, and supporters like you for donations. Each student has a personal EYSO story—tales of aspiration, growth, and connection within a vibrant musical community.

Discover these inspiring stories and support the NOTES campaign by visiting the ensemble pages below. Together, we can ensure every young musician has the chance to shine!
