NYO-China Performance and Discussion on Chamber Music Education in China

Event Details

Co-hosted by the Yale School of Music, NYO-China and Yale Center Beijing.

The Event

This July, the National Youth Orchestra of China (NYO-China) returns to China to present a concert series dedicated to the art of chamber performance which features twenty of China's finest young musicians. What unique qualities will these student artists bring to their performances? What challenges will they face in preparing advanced works? How might chamber performance foster connection across divides of age, geography, and nationality?

NYO-China's students, instructors, and administrators will join him in reflection and also present a selection of highlights from their upcoming concert tour.
