Making New Friends

BYSO was joined by approx. 50 new and old friends this February for the first annual "BYSO Friendraiser." The event, held at Starry Nights Catering & Events in Kirkland brought together longtime supporters of BYSO, current conductors and students, and new friends & supporters of BYSO.

This was one of a number of recent efforts to make sure that the Bellevue Youth Symphony Orchestra is no longer one of the Eastside's, "best kept secrets."

A special thank you to our conductors, student performers, board members, volunteers, and new and old donors for making this such a fun and festive evening!

Next week's blog will be filled with more fun photos of the performances, food, & guests!
