Tune into Facebook Live to watch the finale 7 pm Thursday, May 21, with 21 videos of young musicians playing together — while apart. The virtual concert series is dedicated to the tireless work and heroism of essential workers during this time of hardship and uncertainty. The finale will feature the Youth Symphony, whose musicians have worked harder to share their music with a larger audience than ever before. Music aside, audience members will get to hear from conductors and honor six graduating seniors. No tickets are required for this event, but ESYO is accepting donations to help the local youth play on. ESYO awards more than $30,000 in scholarships each year to more than 100 young musicians. The five orchestras provide free concerts to elementary students, seniors and community members every year. While different from previous ESYO concerts, this spring’s virtual finale will bring the music and joy of talented young musicians right to our homes, something we could all use a bit more of right now. Eugene-Springfield Youth Orchestra’s virtual Facebook Live concert is 7 pm Thursday, May 21, at Facebook.com/ESYOrchestras.— Joanna Mann Classes and programs on- line w/ Museum of Natural & Cultural History (UO), MNCH.Uoregon.edu.

ON THE AIR “The Point,” 9am, KOPV, 88.0 FM “Arts Journal,” 9pm, Com- cast channel 29 Thursday Night Jazz, 10pm, KLCC, 89.7 FM ATTENTION Bloodworks Northwest is seeking blood donors. With new COVID-19 cases in the Northwest projected to decline in the weeks ahead, Washington and Oregon hospitals are preparing to restart surgeries, organ transplants and cancer treatments that were sus- pended in March after the magnitude of the pandemic threat became apparent. Patient needs and requests for blood from Bloodworks Northwest healthcare part- ners are rising quickly, and they could reach pre-COVID levels as early as next week before the blood supply is ready. If you are interested in donating blood, you can schedule online at Blood- WorksNW.org or call the Eugene Donor Center at 541-484-9111. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has caused the cancellation of the Mount Pisgah Arboretum’s annual Wildflower and Music Fes- tival, one of the nonprofit’s biggest fundraising events. Mount Pisgah Arboretum needs support from the community more than ever. If you are interested in becoming a member, visit MPA at MountPisgahArbo- retum.org. Are you a solo musician or in a band in need of some public attention and love during this COVID-19 pandemic? Simply go to the Eugene Weekly website and go to the calendar listings, or email dan@eugeneweekly. com to get your music the eyes it deserves. All of us could use your talents.
