Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra’s 2021 Virtual Gala

in the year of covid, CYSO needed a safe option to hold their annual gala fundraiser. We worked in partnership to create a virtual program that was an artistic experience. CYSO helped with internal LOGISTICS, scripting & securing collaborations with iconic chicago locations (such as the field museum and union station). I worked with CYSO to build out their full gala program by filming three music videos, student testimonials & the host segments, incorporating three existing videos & finishing the program with graphics.
