TMYO out and about...

TMYO ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT

(CELLO): This summer, James LaFayette Jr. TMYO Class of 2022 participated in the Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles National Festival (YOLA), a symphony orchestra intensive bringing together over 180 student musicians from 19 states and Puerto Rico, under the baton of legendary conductor Gustavo Dudamel. The program’s guest speakers, jazz bassist Esperanza Spalding and architect Frank Gehry speak about their experiences and connections to music. After the performance at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles, students could visit numerous city attractions and museums, hike in the California highlands, and listen to a work by composer Wayne Shorter at the Hollywood Bowl. Congratulations, James!
