South Bend Youth Symphony Orchestras gala concert - "The Music of Bon Jovi" featuring MiG Ayesa / Windborne Music

This performance is a world premiere symphonic rock concert, created in collaboration with Windborne Music and featuring a professional rock band and lead singer (MiG Ayesa) performing live with our full orchestra.

This is not a “pops” set or a sing-along—it is a full-scale concert production where the orchestra is an equal partner with the band, bringing the music of Bon Jovi to life in a powerful, high-energy, symphonic setting.

Windborne Music is the nation’s leading symphonic rock production company, and they regularly perform with top orchestras across the country. For SBYSO students to be part of a project like this—especially a world premiere—is truly special.

This concert represents:

A major artistic collaboration with nationally recognized artists

A world premiere—we are the very first orchestra to perform this music!

A high-profile performance at the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center at Notre Dame

It’s going to be an unforgettable experience for both performers and audience!
