The City of Pomona Youth Orchestra

After School Recreation

Community Services Department

The youth orchestra performs in their own productions,

city wide special events,

and at local colleges.

The orchestra consists of trombones, trumpets, saxophones, clarinets,

violins, violas, cellos, flutes, percussion, and singers.

They perform original arrangements of popular songs

from Latin America

to provide all members the opportunity to experience

and to share the culture of Latin America.

The orchestra started in October of 2008 under the direction of Professor Carlos C. Mares.

It has grown from an after school music program, with a few members

to a full orchestra.

The orchestra members have also increased their repertoire,

and at the same time they have raised the quality of their performances.

We are currently looking for talented high-school students, college students, and young adults from our community to join our orchestra.

To join, come to one of our rehearsals and pick up a registration form. It’s free. Our rehearsals and performances may count as

community service hours.

We practice every Friday from 7:00 – 9:30 P.M. in the new Philadelphia Park Community Center (700 E. Philadelphia St. Pomona, CA 91769).
