The Central Pennsylvania Youth Opera -
“Opera Ambassadors”
“Opera Ambassadors” program-training members of the Central Pennsylvania Youth Opera and adult CPYO volunteers as docents to present highlights of annual CPYO children’s production as part of CPYO’s educational outreach to schools.
CPYO proposes to bring student & adult docents into schools in Central Pennsylvania, including under served rural & inner-city schools, to present opera education outreach programs. An intrinsic part of CPYO’s mission is educational outreach to children, and by bringing this program to school children, we foster their musical awareness and arts awareness.
