Young Musicians Choral Orchestra

Young Musicians Choral Orchestra Young Musicians Choral Orchestra is a music-based youth development and educational enrichment program that provides personalized music training.

Founded in 1968 as a summer outreach program, Young Musicians Choral Orchestra has transformed the lives of over 3,000 Bay Area Youth. Under the leadership of Executive Director Daisy Newman, who took the helm in 2003, the program erupted from a modest youth music program into a national model, providing a rigorous and robust combination of musical training, academic reinforcement, and personal de

velopment for low-income, underprivileged children. YMCO garnered a national reputation as a beacon of excellence in transforming the lives of underprivileged youth who might otherwise have found themselves excluded from the opportunities afforded to their more privileged peers. The past ten years witnessed increased breadth and depth in the program including new pinnacles of success.

We would like to take a moment to thank our phenomenal cello teacher, Ms. Sarah Kave, for the outstanding dedication and care she has given in nurturing and empowering our young cellists over the past few years. As her time at UC Berkeley and with YMCO comes to a close, she is preparing to begin an exciting new chapter at Northwestern University, where she will pursue her Master’s degree.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much, Ms. Sarah. We wish you all the very best and will miss you dearly! 💐🎶
