An intensive summer orchestra festival with top-tier ensembles, the YOLA National Festival is for young musicians from Sistema-inspired programs and programs similarly invested in youth and community development through music. The festival’s purpose is to connect civically-minded young musicians from diverse regions across the country. Bringing together this community who share a common interest of achieving musical excellence serves as the nexus for the progressive future of music education while modeling the future of orchestral ensembles.
Featuring masterclasses, concerts and advocacy in and for the arts.
