YOLA International Festival

Very excited to have been invited to be oboe faculty for the Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles International Festival (YOLA International) In Los Angeles, CA.  College and young professional students of the festival come from all over the country on a full scholarship and work with amazing coaches and faculty from around the world, including giving a final performance at Walt Disney Hall under the direction of Maestro Gustavo Dudamel, music director of the LA Phil.  This year one of my festival students was given the opportunity to perform the English horn solo from Rossini's William Tell Overture for the first time ever.  I couldn't be more proud of the oboe students at the festival!  Please contact for more information if interested in future festivals!
