A unique opportunity for AIALA participants to tour the new Judith and Thomas L. Beckmen YOLA Center. The Los Angeles Philharmonic has commissioned architect Frank Gehry and Gehry Partners, LLP to design the first permanent home for YOLA. Located in Inglewood, the adaptive reuse design transformed an existing 18,000-square-foot former Security First National Bank building into a 25,000-square-foot purpose-built facility that expands the existing YOLA program to serve up to an additional 500 YOLA musicians (5 to 18 years old) annually from the surrounding community. The Center also provides a space that can bring together students from existing and future YOLA sites, as well as a site to convene local, national and international young musicians and educators for special sessions each year.
