YS YOUTH ORCHESTRA ASSOCIATION The YS Youth Orchestra Program, or YSYOA, works to serve the village commu- nity in music education and other music- related endeavors. Founded by cellist Shirley Mullins and the late violinist Mary Schumacher in 1965, the organization’s original focus was on supporting music education for children in YS schools. In recent years, the YSYOA has expanded its reach, and in addition to continuing its support of local school music programs, also supports and organizes the annual YS Summer Music Camp and the Yellow Springs Strings, a chamber orches- tra for adults. YSYOA also organizes and presents recitals and concerts. The YSYOA sponsors a scholarship fund to help provide private music instruction for musicians of any age. Those who haven’t received private music lessons on a preferred instrument may apply to the scholarship fund to receive funding to pay for a limited number of lessons, with the possibility of further support after those lessons have been completed.
