NYLSO believes that music belongs to everyone, that creating it, communing with it, and more than ever, escaping with it, is a right for all.
Music is a refuge and a light, and we have been making every effort to keep our community together via online forums and collaborations.
We want to be there for anyone and everyone who needs us, but in order to do this, we need funding, funding for facilitators, funding for idea-makers, funding for administration.
Come Give Us a Go
I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music - George Eliot
