China moves to form national youth orchestra

The first national youth orchestra was founded in the United Kingdom in 1948. And the NYO of the United States started in 2013, as a project of Carnegie Hall.

Now China will have its own NYO: 100 young musicians from all over the country will take rehearsals and attend master classes and workshops at West Connecticut State University in the US for two weeks, and finally play a formal concert at the Carnegie Hall on July 22, 2017.

Renowned artists including French conductor Ludovic Morlot and Chinese pianist Wang Yujia will work with the students for the concert.
