AYPO Music Director Search

 
conductor hands 2After 35 years with the National Symphony Orchestra and 25 years as Music Director of the American Youth Philharmonic Orchestras, Luis Haza announced his retirement from AYPO at the end of June 2009 to begin the next phase of his life at his new residence in Georgia.

With the help of Mr. Haza, AYPO began the extensive search for a new Music Director in September 2008. The process of searching for Mr. Haza's successor has been a thrilling and enlightening process, with more than 95 applicants from throughout the United States and beyond. AYPO's Search Committee worked hard to narrow down the selection pool of candidates to those who were best qualified and suited to continue and build the musical excellence of the AYPO program. This season, two finalists will conduct the first two AYP concerts of the 2009 - 2010 concert season.  Mr. Haza will conduct the third AYP concert of the 2009 - 2010 season and the final concert will be conducted by the new Music Director.  AYPO hopes you will join us for this exciting year!
