The Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra (EYSO) and Chamber Music Institute offer a unique, transformative musical education focused on developing students' understanding of music, not just performance.

Join our community through enriching experiences like the Summer Chamber Music Camp and compelling "Stories Behind the Music," which share personal accounts from staff, students, and alumni. Discover the EYSO philosophy, which emphasizes that music education is a bigger mission.

Upcoming events include the "Origins" Concert Day on November 15th, which will be live-streamed, and the "Myths & Legends" season. Support our mission and join our journey to a safe, fun, and educationally enriching experience.
