Youth Orchestra Los Angeles (YOLA) is a pioneering program of the Los Angeles Philharmonic that expands access to high-quality music education for young people across Los Angeles. Since its founding in 2007, YOLA has built a network of sites—Beckmen YOLA Center in Inglewood, YOLA at HOLA, YOLA at Torres in East LA, and Camino Nuevo—serving roughly 1,700 students aged 5–18. The program blends rigorous ensemble training with community engagement, creating opportunities for every student to perform on prominent stages and grow as musicians and young adults.
