Each summer, Carnegie Hall’s national youth ensembles bring together the brightest young American instrumentalists for free intensive training and performances on some of the world’s greatest stages. After being unable to gather in the summer of 2020, the 100 musicians of NYO-USA (ages 16–19) convened in July 2021 at Purchase College outside New York City. Their three weeks of coaching and rehearsals culminated in digital concert performances.

This digital premiere is made possible by Morgan Stanley.
