“From MYSO to Hollywood and Back”

This March 20–21, 2026, we welcome home Grammy performer and MYSO alum Stefan L. Smith - an award-winning performer and composer whose music has been performed at Orchestra Hall and whose viola playing can be heard on the soundtracks of Avatar, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Encanto, and more.

With your help, our students will:
🎬 Record in a Hollywood-style session led by Stefan
🎶 Take part in a hands-on workshop on the music industry
🎻 Perform in a public concert conducted by Stefan, with pre-concert Q&A + meet & greet

Our goal: $5,000 to bring Stefan back for this unforgettable two-day experience.
🌟 And every gift above our goal supports the MYSO Scholarship Fund!
📅 Save the date: March 20–21, 2026

Bring Hollywood home. Inspire our next generation!
