The Garden Party Starts Soon!

BYSO’s Garden Party, an annual spring fundraiser event featuring student and staff performances, kicks-off virtually on April 5. New performances will be posted every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday until the big grand finale on May 15, when a large showcase of back-to-back performances and speakers are released! All performances will be posted on YouTube and our website.

There are lots of ways to get involved and support the Garden Party including sponsorship and donation opportunities. Invite your friends and family and make an event out of it!

For Garden Party inquiries, contact Caroline Faflak at development@byso.org.

Tonight, March 8, is the last rehearsal of the quarter. Each ensemble has been working on new music and some have even collaborated with local composers and musicians. We look forward to seeing all their recording projects, which will be posted on YouTube when completed.

BYSO’s Spring Quarter begins March 22. Students will remain in their same ensemble. If your student wishes to switch ensembles, make sure to contact admin@byso.org by March 14.
