doesn’t look like Jesse Pinkman got in. Or anyone from his State.
Rosie Weiss. She recently played Scottish Fantasy with the Billings Symphony in her home town. Outstanding player for her age.
I’d love to hear them-I am sure that they are all outstanding players.
New Mexico was represented by a bassist last year and a cellist the year before.
What a surprise! They’re all my nieces and nephews!
Yes! And very proud….
I have to say, I did see the NYO-USA last summer and it was a fun concert. Sorry that they won’t be back in L.A. for a performance before their tour to China with Dutoit.
I do notice that there are college students in the orchestra. Happy as I am for these kids, I would have liked to see it held to high school students.
Yes, though the application requirements stipulate that any college students must not study music or be enrolled in conservatory programs.
I believe the stipulation (besides being aged 16-19) is that those seeking admission to the NYO-USA may not be full time student’s at a conservatoire, or attending a university, studying for a instumental/ performance degree (non-musical college students aged 18/19 I suppose are eligible).
