More than 160 music educators from across the country (and around the world) traveled to Carnegie Hall for our annual Summer Music Educators Workshop! Throughout the four-day program, participants exchanged teaching strategies, explored new ways to engage and empower students, and connected with fellow educators.

Beyond workshops and community-building, educators were able to invest in their own artistry, joining either an orchestra led by Sean Mayes or a choir led by Alysia Lee for a culminating concert in our Resnick Education Wing. 📸: Fadi Kheir

Each summer, Carnegie Hall brings together talented up-and-coming musicians for its trio of youth ensembles: NYO USA / NYO2, and NYO Jazz. Teens from across the nation audition to be part of these free, rigorous training programs that culminate in concerts on celebrated stages around the globe.

While the participants are eager to hone their performing skills, they are also keen to bond with their fellow youth musicians, both domestically and abroad. The artistic and cultural exchange among peers is not only invaluable, but it is also perspective shifting.

Carnegie Hall’s national youth ensembles build musicianship, friendship, and cultural exchange through performances around the world.
