About This Program

Play Your Part was a free online concert that ran from Friday, August 7-14 featuring Brandi Carlile, Gustavo Dudamel, Thomas Wilkins, members of the LA Phil, and members of YOLA (Youth Orchestra Los Angeles).

With so much in our world on pause, YOLA’s young musicians are continuing to learn, to play together remotely, and to thrive. This very special event raised vital funds for YOLA and the LA Phil’s impactful Learning programs. The presentation was made possible by our generous community of supporters. Join them by making a gift to support the LA Phil’s Learning programs like YOLA, which have continued to operate throughout the pandemic.
