Most youth orchestras predominantly exist in white communities, creating a gap in representation. ICYOLA steps in as the largest African American orchestra, addressing this void.
ICYOLA is designed to provide opportunities for African American and Latino youth without audition processes or fees, creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all.
With a focus on community engagement, ICYOLA presents free concerts throughout the year, culminating in a performance at the prestigious Walt Disney Concert Hall.
The orchestra was founded by responding to a request from young African American musicians who wanted to play together, showcasing the need for such initiatives.
