Dear Colleagues and Friends,
We’re thrilled
to share that we will be welcoming Camille Delaney-McNeil to the LA
Phil as our first-ever Beckmen YOLA Center Director. In this new role,
Camille will be responsible for developing the long-term vision of the
Beckmen YOLA Center in Inglewood and YOLA (Youth Orchestra Los Angeles),
as well as managing the venue’s facility operations. The Frank
Gehry-designed Beckmen YOLA Center at Inglewood will open in August 2021
and welcome its first class of local Inglewood students this fall.
Recruited through an extensive national search, Camille comes to the LA
Phil from OrchKids, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra program where she
held the position of Director of Programs. In addition to her many
contributions to the artistic and strategic development of OrchKids, she
also curated and created the OrchKids Green Festival to celebrate and
spotlight West Baltimore as a cultural hub for young musicians and to
help advance a large-scale neighborhood beautification effort. Camille
was a Fellow in the inaugural cohort of the SphinxLEAD program with the
Sphinx Organization and currently sits on the Board of El Sistema USA.
Camille is a fierce advocate for social change through music as well as a
classically trained singer and flutist with a Bachelor of Music from
the University of Maryland, College Park and a Master of Music from the
Peabody Institute.
Camille will assume her
position beginning June 28. I’m looking forward to everyone getting to
know her in this new role and to all the wonderful and inspiring work we
will accomplish together.
All the best,
Elsje Kibler-Vermaas
Elsje Kibler-Vermaas
Vice President, Learning
