YOLA’s Next Step: The Beckmen YOLA Center
The Judith and Thomas L. Beckmen YOLA Center at Inglewood is the boldest step yet in YOLA’s mission of youth development through music education.
The 25,000-square-foot Beckmen YOLA Center will serve as the program’s fifth site, as well as becoming the central hub for YOLA and a haven dedicated to music education and the empowerment of every young musician who walks through its doors.
