Pianist Daniil Trifonov joins as soloist in this landmark performance—the first of its kind—by an ensemble of exceptional and highly accomplished musicians who have taken part in Carnegie Hall’s National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America (NYO-USA). Since its founding in 2013, more than 100 alums of NYO-USA have joined such world-class orchestras as the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, The Cleveland Orchestra, The Met Orchestra, The Royal Danish Orchestra, Boston Symphony Orchestra, The Philadelphia Orchestra, and more. In this special event, Yannick Nézet-Séguin leads an all-star selection of NYO-USA alums in Gershwin’s blues-infused Piano Concerto in F and Shostakovich’s monumental Symphony No. 7, “Leningrad.”
