About

Orquesta Guadalupana Baja California is a youth orchestra based in the marginalized community of Villa del Campo, Tijuana, Mexico. Founded in 2018 by Music Director Ronald Wakefield, the youth orchestra focuses on performing for the marginalized, such as in orphanages and nursing homes. They frequently perform in Southern California, including combined events with the Cerritos College Orchestra. In 2023 they were honored by the City of Los Angeles for their exceptional work and for the music director's commitment to teaching the kids "the value of compassion, empathy, and service". They will make their debut in a major U.S. Concert Hall in June 2025 when they perform at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, the home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
