U.S.A. & Pan African Youth Orchestra Music Collaboration
The U.S.A. & PAYO Music Collabortion Project was conducted in Accra Ghana on Aug 2015 with a five member team of American educators, namely, Kofi Ameyaw, AI Yumiba, Carol Palms, Mark Palms, and Leandra Ward. The team of educators taught Western music theory, arranged and composed music for an upcoming US tour of the Pan African Youth Orchestra, and raised funds to bring over a sound system, video camera, along with clothing and energy saving products. Please take a moment to consider donating to the Pan African Youth Orchestra US Tour, and feel free to contact us if you have questions about PAYO or the Collaboration Project. - Kweku Kwakye, Director
