The speaker program will focus on the Berkeley-based "Young Musicians Choral Orchestra" (YMCO), whose three primary purposes are to provide year-around comprehensive music training, academic tutoring, and personal growth support to disadvantaged 9 to 18 years old youth in the East Bay. A primary goal is to get each graduate into college.
The presenter will be YMCO's President and Artistic Director, Geechi Taylor, a former graduate of YMCO's predecessor, the Young Musicians Program at UC Berkeley.
