Thank you from Carnegie Hall

Thank You Post Card

As we look forward to 2019, Florida Symphony Youth Orchestras would like to take a moment to thank you for your support during 2018. Thank you for investing in the lives of talented musicians and contributing to a summer filled with unforgettable memories.

This summer, FSYO embarked on our week-long summer tour stopping to perform at the Sottile Theatre at the College of Charleston and Carnegie Hall in New York City. While in Charleston, a few students developed an understanding of the hard work that goes into promoting a concert by performing small sets around town. In New York, FSYO was invited to perform at Carnegie Hall in part with Distinguished Concerts International New York. DCINY is an organization that is passionately committed to maintaining the highest standard of professional performance experience.

The Carnegie Hall concert had over 2,500 in attendance and produced a sensational report from New York Concert Review. "All the principal players (in fact, all the players) were first-rate, with burnished, plush strings and confidently played winds." - Frank Daykin for New York Concert Review

"The concert [Carnegie Hall] itself was a whirl, it only felt like moments before we were being led offstage, just having performed the concert of a lifetime," said Emily Schenck, FSYO Alumna. "It was a life-changing experience and we were all so thrilled to have taken part in this event!"

You have truly made a difference.

Thank you to all of our season sponsors, donors, families, in-kind sponsors, and wonderful young musicians!
