The annual festival offers the community intimate yet masterful performances, and also connects passionate students to these artists, inspiring the newest generation of musicians.

YAP’s full-tuition scholarships ensures that applicants from diverse backgrounds throughout Hawai‘i have the opportunity to pursue their passion for music. The program’s intensive training and collaborative performances facilitates camaraderie and mutual respect among the young musicians.
