East Meets West for AYPO

 

Join us on November 11th for Cultural Connections, a Concert and Gala featuring music, entertainment, and good cheer! 

 

Xiaohui MaAYPO is proud to open its season with the acclaimed international performer, Xiaohui Ma, with Music Director Luis Haza and the American Youth Philharmonic. Ms. Ma, one of China's premier musical artists who is featured on the soundtrack to the Oscar-winning Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, will enthrall audiences with the erhu, a two-string traditional Chinese instrument with a sound that is earthy, rich, and complex. 

 

Eastern subtleties and nuance blend in a musical exchange with Western aesthetics to create a unique multicultural experience not to be missed!

Calling All Alumni!

 

Did you know that there is a section of the AYPO website dedicated to alumni? We want to hear from the musicians who made AYPO the wonderful program it is today; and how you are impacting society throughout the nation!

 

If you are a former member of the organization or know someone who is, the best way to stay in touch is to contact AYPO through our website, giving an email address & current mailing address for future correspondence.

 

Be on the lookout for an alumni letter in the mail, as the 2007-2008 season unfolds!
