Philharmonic of the DC Youth Orchestra Program (DCYOP) to support OAS Caribbean Orchestras.

OASIS Press release

Friday December 11th the recently launched OAS/FEMCIDI Orchestra Program for Youth at Risk will be presented in Washington through a benefit concert featuring the Junior Philharmonic of the DC Youth Orchestra Program (DCYOP).

The concert will also celebrate the new sister-orchestra relationship between the Junior Philharmonic and the three newly created national youth orchestras. The relationship will lead to a student and faculty exchange between the US and the Caribbean.

The concert, conducted by Argentine Mariano Vales, will feature music by Beethoven and Merle Isaac, and Christmas music via a life feed from Saint Lucia, Jamaica and Haiti, the three countries participating in the OAS-led regional program.

This December 11th event will also be an opportunity to raise funds for the Program in Haiti, St. Lucia, and Jamaica.

Haiti Relief Efforts:
Rebuilding Sainte Trinité

The Youth Orchestra Program in Haiti experienced a major setback when the Program’s host school, the Ecole de Musique Sainte Trinité, was destroyed during the 2010 earthquake. 

Since the OASIS program started, Sainte Trinité served as a venue for the disadvantaged youths of Bel-Air. If we put our efforts together we can bring back the program and help rebuild the school.
