NATIONAL YOUTH ORCHESTRA OF THE USA

Be the first to meet and applaud this year’s National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America. After a two-week residency at Purchase College, these 122 extraordinary young musicians will give their first performance right here at The Center before they embark on a seven-city tour of China.

They will perform under the baton of the great conductor Charles Dutoit and will be joined by China’s superstar pianist YUNDI. On the program, a new work by Tan Dun commissioned by Carnegie Hall, Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat Major, “Emperor,” and Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique.

NYO-USA is a project of Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute.
