Orchestra, Rachel Adams, flute, Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto, 1st

Founded in Berkeley in 1936, YPSO
is the oldest youth orchestra in California and the second oldest in the
nation. Violinist and conductor Jessica Marcelli founded YSPO at the

who got the idea after hearing a youth orchestra on a trip to Portland,
Oregon.
