The YAF Program – Chamber Music, Community Engagement, and More
YAF trains pre-college strings and piano students in chamber music at conservatory standards. From August through April each regular season, and June Summer Session, YAF curates a variety of performances, events, and supplemental opportunities for students to engage with their communities through arts.
By organizing students and faculty into local ensembles across the South Bay, Peninsula, and San Francisco, YAF provides greater access to exemplary music education and performances throughout the Bay Area.

Comprehensive Training
Beyond intensive training in chamber music, YAF sponsors a variety of supplemental artistic development opportunities to highlight and refine individual students' growth. Past engagements have included renowned guest-artist masterclasses, solo recitals, and professional recording sessions to prepare for future auditions and competitions.
