Ages 7-12 & Youth Camps for 12-17 Music has the power to change lives for the better, says Holly Spencer, executive director of the Eugene-Springfield Youth Orchestras (ESYO). “When you go to a performance or even a class or rehearsal, that’s when you see what music is doing for these kids,” Spencer says. The music groups are gearing up for their spring concerts May 24-26. In a time when children in public school have fewer opportunities to participate in the arts, ESYO gives students a chance to engage musically. ESYO consists of several programs, including the Eugene-Springfield Youth Symphony, the Junior Orchestra and the Little Symphony. At the youth concerts, “you can close your eyes and have an evening of symphony music; it’s not just a kids concert,” Spencer says. ESYO recently announced that David Jacobs, director of orchestral studies at the UO, has taken a position as the new conductor of the Eugene-Springfield Youth Symphony — check out his conducting skills at the symphony’s spring concert May 26. 1 week sessions: M-F from 9 am to 1 pm Crux Rock Gym Call us at 541-484-9535 or check us out at www.cruxrock.com Eugene Scottish Festival Saturday, May 28 — 10am - 5pm Irving Grange, 1011 Irvington Drive Bagpipes, Fiddles, Harps, Sheep Dog Demo, Dog Parade, Horse-Drawn Wagon Rides, Dancing & Scottish Imports The ESYO Little Symphony & String Academy 2 play 7:30pm Tuesday, May 24; the ESYO Junior Orchestra plays 7:30pm Wednesday, May 25; the Eugene Springfield Youth Symphony plays 7:30pm Thursday, May 26; all concerts take place at South Eugene High School, 400 E. 19th Ave. $10 adults, $5 students and seniors; see esyorchestras.org for tickets.
