See the video that introduced the YOLA at HOLA and International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE) on stage at Walt Disney Concert Hall on April 28, 2016, where the two groups premiered their co-composition “CW Rainforest.” These two groups are collaborating throughout the spring of 2016 as they prepare the premiere of a new work – composed especially for this group of musicians – by Tania Leon, to be performed at the Ojai Festival in June 2016.

YOLA at HOLA is a full, cost-sharing partnership of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Heart of Los Angeles (HOLA).
