12 videos • 752 views • by LA Phil The National Take a Stand Festival is an unprecedented initiative to create a unified national platform for El Sistema-inspired and aligned programs throughout the United States. The three-year project began with a teacher training and pilot program in 2015, continued with two regional youth orchestra camps in 2016, and will culminate in a 7-day national youth orchestra camp from July 15-22, 2017, featuring a final performance led by LA Phil Music Director Gustavo Dudamel. Students will not only have access to top artistic and educational resources, but experience some of the world’s finest learning institutions and concert venues. In addition to programming, travel, lodging, and food will be free for all selected students. For more information, visit http://laphil.com/ntasf.
