Live with Carnegie Hall: National Youth Ensembles
Saturday, July 24, 2021, at 3pm
The extraordinary young musicians of Carnegie Hall’s national youth ensembles—the National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America (NYO-USA), NYO2, and NYO Jazz—represent the future of the country’s orchestral and jazz traditions. After being unable to gather in the summer of 2020, these three ensembles convened this July on the Purchase College campus.
Their three weeks of training and music-making here at The PAC culminate in this streamed event that comes to you from our Concert Hall stage. Tune in for a celebration of community and music’s bright future as you get to know the remarkable performers that make up these ensembles.
