Although the program originated in the Albany school district, today, there are over 300 children in the program from 75 schools in the Capital Region. There are two full orchestras, a string ensemble, wind orchestra, 2 jazz ensembles, 3 percussion ensembles, as well as, a city strings program and a city brass program. It is evident that this program has evolved over their thirty years in the Capital Region. We are thankful for the positive influence ESYO has had on our community’s children! http://www.esyo.org Schenectady is proud to show off its newly renovated State Street and Downtown Area. If you haven't visited, come see the Capital Region's best spot for Arts, Nightlife, & Dining. One night out is all you'll need to see that Schenectady is just as electric as ever!
