Orchestra of the Americas - a world-class symphony orchestra under the guidance of artistic adviser Placido Domingo, consisting of gifted young musicians representing 26 countries in the Western Hemisphere.

The American Orchestra has performed more than 350 concerts since its inauguration tour in 2002, performing at various venues ranging from the prestigious concert halls of Europe, North and South America to outdoor venues, which is not often associated with symphonic music. His sound brings art through live performances, television projects, radio broadcasts, CD recordings, prints and documentaries.

The mission of the orchestra is to enable young musical talents to transform life across America and beyond. YOA has become an international brand, attracting famous artists such as Yo Yo Ma, Pokito D'Rivera, Placido Domingo, Philip Glass, to the lives of young musicians and diverse audiences.

The main ideas of the project:
1) Strengthening intercultural ties between Odessa and the countries of the Americas;
2) Promotion of the important role of education and participation of Odessa youth in the life of art;
3) Exchange of musical traditions of North and South America with residents of Odessa and guests from other countries;
4) Providing scholarships for 5 talented young Ukrainian musicians, including two from Odessa;
