Each year, CVYO invites some of the most respected directors and coaches in our region to bring their unique perspectives to the orchestra and to allow the students to make connections to professionals in their community and the larger music industry. 

Our guest coaches and conductors have included Larry Livingston (USC), Neil Stulberg (UCLA), Kevin Fitz-Gerald (USC), David Chan (New York Met), and Yoshika Masuda (Cal Lutheran University).

Guest coaches are also invited from our list of Distinguished Teachers and the many talented program directors in our regional community.
