Youth Orchestra Los Angeles (YOLA) Festival is a 13-day orchestra
festival that brings together young musicians from El Sistema-inspired
programs nationwide, providing them with world music instruction and
mentorship. The program, including travel, lodging, and all instruction,
is entirely free for participants. July 26, 2019, I attended the FREE
YOLA National Festival Symphony Orchestra concert at Disney Concert
Hall. See pic 1-program. Audience response first reached a significant
standing ovation after Roderick Cox conducted Florence Price Symphony
No. 1 Allegro ma non troppo and accelerated during the final three
pieces conducted by Gustavo Dudamel. During the garden reception
following the concert, I met Mr. and Mrs. Liburd from Atlanta whose
daughter Danielle Liburd (from the Atlanta Music Project) is a member of
YOLA National Festival Symphony Orchestra. See pic 2-Mr. & Mrs. Liburd with Leni Boorstin, Senior Advisor, External Affairs, LA
Philharmonic Association. See pic 3 Cellist Danielle Liburd (right) with
her little sister. Danielle is looking forward to a performance in
Scotland later this year and she plans to attend Georgia State
University.
