YNF 2019

This app is created for the 2019 YOLA National Festival. The 2019 YOLA National Festival is an opportunity for students from El Sistema-inspired and aligned programs throughout the United States to perform as part of a top-tier national youth orchestra. This year’s festival will feature two ensembles: a Symphony Orchestra for advanced musicians aged 12-18 and a Chamber Ensemble for intermediate string musicians, aged 12-15. The YOLA National Festival is a free program - travel, lodging, meals and programming are provided at no cost for all for participating musicians.

The festival aims to develop a model for excellence and a national community of citizen musicians from historically excluded populations in the United States. Young musicians from diverse regions and backgrounds will become ambassadors of their programs, learning from world-renowned conductors and artist mentors in beautiful settings and concert halls, including Walt Disney Concert Hall.
