Youth Orchestra Los Angeles (YOLA) is a network of organizations devoted to providing quality instrumental music education for children with the greatest needs, fewest resources and little or no access to instrumental music education. The vision that unites this diverse coalition of partners is that every child in Los Angeles County who wants to play in an orchestra will be able to do so. The mission of Youth Orchestra Los Angeles has been to put instruments in children’s hands and give them the best quality instruction by creating new and leveraging existing ensemble programs.
Stakeholders within the network of Youth Orchestra Los Angeles include: the city and county of Los Angeles, universities, LAUSD and other school districts in Los Angeles County, community music schools, non-profit music organizations, individual music educators, and after-school programs such as Beyond the Bell and LA’s Best, and funders.
The inspiration for Youth Orchestra Los Angeles comes from the dynamic youth orchestra movement in Venezuela, where it is an agent for social change and has resulted in the formation of more than 200 youth orchestras for low-income children.
The Youth Orchestra Los Angeles coalition is working together to coordinate and align its community resources, in-school and after-school, to provide a pathway of instrumental instruction and ensemble experience for children.
