Wisdom from Ayde

Sixteen-year-old Ayde is a YOLA (Youth Orchestra Los Angeles) student with a lot on her mind and even more on her plate. On top of schoolwork and family responsibilities at home, Ayde plays the flute and oboe in the LA Phil’s music education program.
Ayde says it hasn’t been easy being a kid while trying to make wise, mature decisions for her future, but she’s found a safe space in YOLA to dream big, express herself, and make progress toward her long-term goals.
