NYO in NYC:
A Side-by-Side Event with New York–Area Music Students
Saturday, July 15, 2017
The National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America (NYO-USA) and NYO2 welcome New York–area music students to join them in a collaborative musical celebration in NYC. Orchestra players at both an intermediate and advanced level are invited to play alongside the young musicians from across the country who form NYO-USA and NYO2 this summer. James Ross, NYO-USA orchestra director, and Giancarlo Guerrero, NYO2 conductor, will lead the combined forces in rehearsal before each mega-orchestra (comprising 200–300 musicians) gives a performance.
Musicians must register in advance for one of two sessions based on their level of experience. All participants must bring a signed media release form to the event, and participants under the age of 18 who will be attending without a parent or guardian must also bring a signed permission form.
