✨ Thank You for an Unforgettable Evening ✨

Our “From MYSO to Hollywood & Back” concert was nearly sold out—and it wouldn’t have been possible without an incredible community coming together to make the magic happen.

A heartfelt thank you to our guest artist, Stefan L. Smith, for inspiring our musicians and audiences alike with his artistry, insight, and passion.
We are so proud of our talented MYSO musicians and deeply grateful to their families for their continued support. Special thanks as well to Audio Engineer Alby Odum and his team for giving our musicians a professional recording experience.

We extend our appreciation to Joliet Junior College for hosting us in their Fine Arts Auditorium, and to the entire Joliet-area community for showing up and supporting youth music in such a meaningful way. Thank you to our local business sponsors D'Arcy Buick GMC - D’Arcy Motors, BKS - Business Knowledge Systems, Adam Underhill of Edward Jones, Coffman Truck Sales, and the Illinois Arts Council.

And to our generous donors—your support made this experience possible, and we are truly thankful.

From iconic film scores to an inspiring evening of music and connection, this was a night we won’t soon forget. 💫

Thank you for being part of it.

We couldn’t wait to share a few photos from our time with MYSO Alum and Hollywood Artist Stefan L. Smith this weekend. In the last 48 hours, we held a Hollywood recording session, followed by a full day of rehearsing and performing film music to a full crowd. But most importantly, we were inspired and challenged by Stefan every step of the way. More pics to come!

The stage is being set for tomorrow evening’s Hollywood-style recording workshop. Thank you to Alby and his JJC team for beginning the audio set-up tonight. He had all hands on deck today. We can’t wait to experience this process with Stefan L. Smith.

And we can’t wait to share a public performance with the community, featuring music from Pirates of the Caribbean, Titanic, Gladiator and more.
