4worldlovers: YOLA⁠—the LA Phil's music education program⁠—currently serves close to 1,700 young musicians across five sites, providing them with free instruments, intensive music instruction (up to 18 hours per week), academic support, and leadership training.

The program began as an adaptation of Venezuela’s revolutionary El Sistema music education program, but it is now an innovative model in its own right, often looked to as a guide for students and teachers from music programs around the country.

“To share music with children — who might not otherwise have access to it — is to share beauty, to share a different way of being. It can change their definition of what is possible for themselves.”

Music & Artistic Director, Walt and Lilly Disney Chair, Los Angeles Philharmonic

YOLA currently comprises five sites across Los Angeles. Though all are guided by a unified philosophy and mission, each site is designed differently to serve the specific needs of its community.
