New World Symphony and Carnegie Hall’s NYO2 WALLCAST® Concert
Saturday, July 21 2018
8:30 PM-11:00 PM
Carnegie Hall’s NYO2 makes its New World Center debut alongside Grammy Award-winning violinist Gil Shaham and New World Symphony Fellows and alumni for an exclusive one-night-only event—the orchestra’s only public performance before its finale at Carnegie Hall on July 24.
NYO2 is joined by conductor Carlos Miguel Prieto for Mexican and Russian masterpieces, including the vibrant suite from Revueltas’s Redes, Prokofiev’s rich First Violin Concerto and Shostakovich’s dramatic Symphony No. 5.
NYO2’s 2018 season and six-day residency in Miami mark the start of a new partnership between New World Symphony and Carnegie Hall, which will see current and former Fellows mentoring and performing side-by-side with participating students from across the country, including many from South Florida.
Comprising a “remarkable array of talent” (The New York Times), NYO2 is an orchestral training program for talented young players ages 14–17 with a focus on recruiting musicians from communities underrepresented in classical music.
