Young musicians from the Young Artists Debut Orchestra performed at UPMC Park just before the after-game fireworks on July 2. 

The performance was their 16th annual Independence Day appearance, and it capped off their 22nd summer music academy.

The Orchestra provides music education to students ages six to 21. Some of those students benefit from the Instruments of Hope program; it supplies instruments to those who need them. 

If you'd like to support their mission, the Young Artists Debut Orchestra is accepting donations to its Instruments of Hope program here: Donate — Young Artists Debut Orchestra or here: Give to Young Artists Debut Orchestra (YADO) | Erie Gives with the second link ready for Erie Gives on August 12.
