I joined this orchestra as a horn player two years ago and am entering my third season. It is safe to say I have absolutely no regrets. Rehearsing with the orchestra every Friday is the highlight of my week. The director, musicians, and the music presented are all top notch. One thing I really like about being in this orchestra is that everybody in there is treated like professionals and are expected to do their best. If you have to opportunity to do so, I highly recommend joining the orchestra, as well as checking out the concerts.

The YAO has taught me about what it takes to become a professional at any craft. Through dedicated rehearsals and sectionals with well-known Las Vegas musicians, I have had the honor of studying violin for two seasons under this brilliant group. All of the piece selections (such as Swan Lake and Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto) are made with the overarching purpose of having both the audience and musicians immersed into the story of music. Conductor Yunior Lopez always brings his passion to each rehearsal, and that translates immensely into the essence of the orchestra. The YAO has high and mature expectations for its students, so the performances never disappoint. I would definitely recommend listening to our performances or, better yet, attending one of our live concerts (when the time is right)!

YAO is the absolute BEST program in Las Vegas for young musicians. Not only has our son become more proficient & professional, he's learned to work with a team while having FUN. Yunior has always given constructive feedback which we believe fosters self-esteem and emotional growth in the students. Thanks for all you do Yunior!

I have really enjoyed my time with YAO the last four years I have been fortunate enough to participate in it. The orchestra plays a variety of music which has been one of my favorite parts of YAO because you never get tired of it. The music is challenging but attainable if you work hard. I love how every year there is one grand performance consisting of more pop-culture based music (Star Wars, West Side Story, Harry Potter). Performing at the Smiths Center was quite an experience, and it is a disappointment that in the development of a pandemic, COVID-19, I was unable to have my last performance with the orchestra there. Having the opportunity to perform in such a beautiful concert hall is an experience I will never forget. The instructors and guest artists that I have had the opportunity to play with have all been exceptional. But in all, Yunior and Kerry, the orchestra directors, are the best part of YAO. They are never afraid to tell you what you are doing wrong, and for some of the newbies to the program, that may be intimidating at first, but that is what has helped me grow. I have been apart of YAO since the establishment of the Academy Program and I have certainly seen it grow. I undoubtedly enjoyed my last four years in YAO and now that I have left for college, it leaves a bittersweet taste in my mouth because I am sad to leave, but excited to see how the program will grow.

YAO is very well organized and gives every section a good challenge in their music and the concerts are always very well prepared for. The past season has been a great experience for me, and for a lot of others I know in the orchestra. I have no doubt that this season has many great things in store.
