YAPCA is pleased to introduce its Summer Academy 2020! The year 2020 will be remembered as the year we all learned to adapt and find new ways to learn, connect, and make music, overcoming hurdles we previously thought insurmountable. If you are looking to extend and deepen the progress you’ve made over the year, renew collaborations and make music together, the YAPCA Summer Academy is for you. July 27-31, 2020 via Zoom.
