First championed by conductor Leonard Bernstein in 1971, YA Week has grown into a two-week celebration of arts in education observed each spring by the national YA network, leaders in the field, and individual supporters.
We are proud to be keeping the legacy alive! YA Week 2022 will be held April 10-23, 2022! Learn more and join the festivities at youngaudiences.org/YAWeek.
