Youth Orchestras of Namibia - YONA Youth Orchestras of Namibia (YONA) has a vision to transform the lives of youth through music. Every child is part of an ensemble or orchestra.

We give opportunities to children who would otherwise not have access to music education. At YONA, children learn to play orchestra instruments such as violin, viola, cello, clarinet, oboe, flute and recorder. Our Vision: Social transformation through music
Our Mission: Using music and the orchestra as a tool to foster social transformation; creating unity within diversity, and to develop children academically, socially and personally

“Stand By Me” brought everyone together, Strings, Woodwinds, and Choir, with soloist Patricia Ochurus.

Originally recorded by Ben E. King in 1961, the song has been reinterpreted in so many styles over the decades. On Saturday it took the full force of three ensembles on stage, almost too many for the stage to hold, to bring it to life.

The 10 year concert was a great opportunity for some fundraising! We had an auctioneer who wasn’t too serious, just lots of fun, auctioning off masks and posters, with plenty of laughter and excitement in the room.

Thank you to all our sponsors for their generous support.

More from our 10 year celebration of YONA this past Saturday!
🎺 The Young Wind Band is now an integral part of YONA! 🎺

This growing ensemble is the result of a special collaboration between DHPS and YONA, directed by Ingo Thape. Partnerships like these show what’s possible when institutions join forces to give young musicians a home to develop and perform.

🎉 YONA celebrated its 10th birthday this past Saturday! 🎉

What a concert it was. We had the Senior Strings Orchestra perform, the Young Wind Band play, our YONA choir sang, we had professional soloists support our young musicians, held an auction, ate cake and so much more! We will need a number of posts to properly capture it all. Stay tuned as we share the highlights over the coming days.

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate 10 years with us!
