This Summer...

Become a Part of the
International Youth Orchestra ASP 2013!
 Over 100 young musicians from many countries around the world will converge in Loudoun to form the INTERNATIONAL YOUTH ORCHESTRA ASP 2013. The event begins in Leesburg on July 1, when the orchestra begins its four-day rehearsal session. It concludes with 3 performances: an Independence Day Concert on July 4, a gala performance at Reston on July 5 and a finale performance on July 6.

American participants approved by audition may register to participate. Tuition for the program is $150 for students hosting an international guest, and $250 for non-host participants.

YMPPA invites you to participate in this wonderful summer event by volunteering as a host family for the international musicians!


Year after year, our family looks forward to this event. It’s one of the highlights of our summer. We’ve made such good friends with the children… they feel like family!”
From our host families survey---
 What do host families do?
  Provide transportation to and from the airport (Dulles).
 Provide room and board for the stay (June 29– July 7).
 Provide transportation to and from rehearsals and concerts (Leesburg/Sterling/Reston).
 Make new friends abroad!

During the event, host families have an opportunity to observe the rehearsals of the International Youth Orchestra ASP 2013, and have special seating at concerts. Host families are also invited to participate in special activities. It is a great opportunity to expose children to a different culture, teach them about other parts of the world, and support and promote the appreciation of classical music. If you are interested in being a host family, contact us at info@ymppa.org or by phone at (703) 628-2589.
