Virtual Gala

Music video for G Herbo

In the year of COVID, Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra needed a safe alternative to their annual gala, their biggest fundraiser of the year. I worked in partnership with CYSO to build a virtual gala program that included three music videos, student testimonials, host segments and three outside vendor videos - edited together and completed with graphics. The program was a success and CYSO raised above and beyond their goal! Watch the videos and full gala here: https://www.jessicabatson.com/chicago-youth-symphony-orchestra
