The YOLA Neighborhood Project (YNP) aims to build healthy communities through universal access to music. In South L.A. and the Rampart District, school-day residencies inspire local students to join YOLA; local parent ensembles provide families with the opportunity to learn music; and LA Phil neighborhood concerts allow the community at large to experience one of the world’s greatest orchestras in their own backyard. Each year, YNP culminates in a joint performance of over 1,000 children from partner schools and YOLA – demonstrating the immense power and joy of musical collaboration.
YNP would not be possible without the dedication of our community partners – Heart of Los Angeles (HOLA), Harmony Project, and EXPO Center, a City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks facility – and the teachers and staff from participating LAUSD schools.
