On June 19th, 2009, the Young Musicians Foundation Harp In Our Public Schools Project was featured on stage at the Hollywood Bowl Gala Celebration. Eleven 5th grade participants of the Harp Project at Moffett Elementary School were accompanied by the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra in a performance of Paisaje by Alfredo Rolando Ortiz. The students were introduced by celebrities Jaime Pressly and Bill Paxton. The young harpists played to a sold out crowd of 18,000 and were starstruck by sharing the stage with Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame members John Williams, Garth Brooks, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa and Josh Groban as well as other legendary performers such as Roger Daltrey, Trisha Yearwood, Angelique Kidjo and Frederica von Stade.
