In this unique annual tradition, local audiences and holiday visitors from around the world come together at Carnegie Hall for a special 7 PM Christmas Eve concert by the New York String Orchestra. The youthful ensemble delights listeners with the timeless majesty of an all-Mozart program, performed without intermission. Featured as soloist in the beloved Clarinet Concerto is Afendi Yusuf, principal clarinetist of The Cleveland Orchestra—an ensemble that The New York Times recently called “the nation’s finest.”
