This opportunity is life changing and it enables them to express themselves through music. My gratitude is immeasurable that my children can experience the professionalism, gifted, kind teachers that YADO provides. I am a single mother with 6 children, and this opportunity is nothing shy of angels sent from above to help guide my children. I will be forever grateful for the YADO and its teachers.” —Nicole Barnes, Genesis Strings parent https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/1628640740315-WUMUB9DZFYHOF91MJLMO/image-asset.jpeg Mission “Jessie, we are sorry to have missed seeing you before we moved. Thank you for everything you did for LidaMarie. Her skills and performance were enhanced by what she learned from you and Maestro. You have been a blessing to us in many ways. God bless you for all you do in helping kids build skills and love of beautiful music. Peace+” —Margie Frezza, grateful former YADO parent https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/1626604549086-NQIFEYXHUTCL9KTQRC09/F6A4F98E-B91C-40C9-836A-B6418F3FE1C7.jpeg Mission “I have studied violin for the past 7 years, 4 of those have been with Maestro Collura and the YADO program. The program and Maestro have taught me so many things, like how to play in tune; to play in tempo; how to reach the highest level of excellence, and how a real professional orchestra works. Maestro Collura has been a huge inspiration for me, and I feel fortunate to have the BEST conductor in Erie to mentor me.” —Ben Niebauer, 11th Grade McDowell High School Student https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/1608350675252-CUEKZWUK0PUZVXG3GPAU/Samantha+P.++Winter+2020+YADO+Concert+.jpg Mission “I just wanted to send a note thanking you and Maestro for all that you have done to make last Friday night’s concert a reality! We are so grateful to have learned about YADO through Louis Nicolia, and for Samantha to have participated in the summer music academy, as well as this past semester’s rehearsals and performance. My husband and I appreciate the hard work and efforts made by everyone, based on the beautiful music we heard last week. Beyond the performance, I’ve been impressed and thrilled with sitting in rehearsals and seeing the method Maestro uses to make the kids into their “best selves.” This method has pushed Samantha to practice more, and she has grown so much since August! I am truly grateful for YADO in giving her the opportunity to do what she loves to do - play and learn music! Thank you, again!” —Jessica P., YADO parent https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/1543514184716-I92TSYK1DV7D1I3O5K09/Musical+Art+-+Ava+West+-+Erie+SeaWolves+Performance+July+2018.jpg Mission “Through YADO, my daughter has had the opportunity to take her violin out into the community. Connecting what happens in lessons and practice sessions to real-world experiences and performance opportunities like this is vital to her success. The appreciation shown to the kids from staff and crowd alike bolsters her confidence and she takes pride in her participation. I'm grateful YADO is able to offer opportunities like this!” —Amy West, YADO parent https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/1543542652563-EN6UL697DQJ9XRIPTKJL/Alex+Law_SSSS.JPG Mission “The instructors working with the Strings of the Heart Orchestra (SOHO) and the Quintessentially (Q) encourage the students to improve their skills through practice and hard work. In addition to improving her skills with the violin, my daughter has learned about team work, time management, leadership, setting goals and self-discipline. The YADO’s annual Holiday and Spring concerts are a culmination of months of work from the entire orchestra, and the joy and feeling of accomplishment from a great performance is invaluable to her self-confidence. My daughter has gained so much from participating with SOHO and Q and this would not be possible without the guidance and leadership of Maestro Frank Collura and Mrs. Jessie Collura, the Directors of the organization. The Colluras are committed to educating students and developing young musicians to help them attain success.” —Nancy Carty, Ph.D., YADO parent Associate Professor, Microbiology Assistant Director of Problem Based Learning Pathway Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine https://www.yadostars.org/volunteer-index daily 0.75 2020-07-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/1543518881051-QNE8OJMH86CTAG6ZNKHA/Some+of+the+Volunteer+Greeters++Ushers_.jpg Volunteer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/1593396578156-RHW18M01PFMU534VQXZG/Photo+-+Loyalty+Appreciation%21+YADO+Volunteer+Debbie+Grotkowski+-+June+2020.jpg Volunteer https://www.yadostars.org/programs-index daily 0.75 2025-01-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/1545487554875-SW97XR1OLQ5BG9I3HWH9/InkedFull%25252525252Bsz%25252525252Bphoto%25252525252BSSSS%25252525252BWinter%25252525252BConcert%25252525252B2018_LI.jpg Programs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/1543545146037-JCF0X49E322OBOZKT34M/YADO+logo+color.JPG Programs https://www.yadostars.org/sponsors1 daily 0.75 2026-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/1537134190256-T1ZRKVOWJAKWW8G2PJWT/Summer+Music+Academy+2018+Sponsors%27+Logos+.jpg Sponsors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/1539711394384-GWDH7XIKT0FXJN5SMFST/ERIETwoColor.jpg Sponsors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/1539711438903-17PL2QRU3BNCFXAJQSOZ/ECGRA+Logo.PNG Sponsors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/18b8a609-e019-4ebb-8f9b-d6f45848209d/image-asset.jpeg Sponsors - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/1539712090647-OGD085U1N3C5XMPOMP0T/Ameripac+Logo_1984.jpg Sponsors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/1615420929605-CGGSBEX7B07H7YQOPMAY/image-asset.png Sponsors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/e6c83363-3141-4829-be99-827d9fd35e8c/image-asset.png Sponsors - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/1552254201425-P4EB2K68CN10KB1T9ACC/image-asset.png Sponsors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/6fe71b11-2048-49c7-9e37-3da06cd7e905/UPMC_3_HealthPlan_H_RGB.jpg Sponsors - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/d6144809-8bc1-404b-8044-04f044180c6f/image-asset.png Sponsors - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/1613789845998-BD73RKY6CQVD0OK9XKOB/image-asset.jpeg Sponsors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/1552234804837-DY35WFJSX55787C95HLL/image-asset.png Sponsors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/44fec459-7ff4-4f9f-bbcd-f804e07e918b/yado_sponsor_scott.png Sponsors - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/366dcffb-3c20-4015-bb6b-34ca774d6a43/image-asset.png Sponsors - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/1552235285002-BDAPYCBBYRHS9632WZAI/image-asset.png Sponsors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/808e7a3e-9d31-4426-b91b-93e3197c1e12/IMG_7869.jpeg Sponsors - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.yadostars.org/home daily 1.0 2024-05-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/1536952405338-W8EOF5MDXKOKYGBDSY1C/Chloe+Trevor+Soloist+-+YADO+Concert+May+2018+.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/1536954081630-TS81EY0DNHP6Q6MFXCFS/Quintessentially+9+Performance.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/1536954637191-2BKXBN9K17BL98NCHHQI/Quintessentially+9+Performance.JPG Home https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/t/5bc40a76eef1a19cbd4c4ed7/1539574386237/ Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bb2cbaf2096e13552eb8e/1543542376757-25DYHP4UU2N0ZUELF80Z/Isabella+Gardner+-+Spring+2018+Recital.jpg Home - Music Transforms We know that classical music education has the power to transform lives!

Now in her third year with YADO, we have seen firsthand how a thoughtfully designed, mission-driven music program can nurture not only musical growth, but also confidence, discipline, and genuine joy. During the school year, our daughter participates in YADO’s core program and has also taken part in the Summer Music Academy. She began in Genesis Strings and has since advanced into the Strings of the Heart Orchestra (SOHO), where she continues to thrive. This progression reflects both her own dedication and the care with which YADO guides students forward through consistent ensemble rehearsals, professional mentorship, and high standards of musical excellence. The quality of teaching, organization, and performance opportunities have deepened her musicianship and appreciation for classical music in ways we did not imagine possible. Equally meaningful has been the support provided through the Instruments of Hope sister nonprofit. Access to a high-quality violin—far beyond what we could reasonably provide as a family—has played an important role in her development and beautifully reflects YADO’s commitment to equity and accessibility in arts education. Beyond musical growth, YADO has offered our daughter a strong sense of belonging. She has formed quality friendships within the program that we believe will last for years to come. We are also grateful for YADO’s emphasis on community outreach, including small ensemble performances at local nursing homes, which allow students to share their music, give back, and engage in meaningful multigenerational connection. We are sincerely grateful for the generosity and leadership that make YADO possible. Your support creates real opportunity, lasting community, and meaningful impact for families like ours, and we are thankful to be part of a program so thoughtfully stewarded. With sincere appreciation, David and Paige Solomon, on behalf of our family https://www.yadostars.org/instruments-of-hope-fundraiser daily 0.75 2024-07-26
