Carnegie Hall and Suntory Hall Partnership Program
Carnegie Hall’s National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America
Gianandrea Noseda, Conductor

Suntory Hall presents Carnegie Hall’s National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America (NYO-USA) conducted by Gianandrea Noseda on July 26, 2025.

Established in 2013, NYO-USA is one of Carnegie Hall’s foremost educational programmes for nurturing the next generation of musicians. Each summer, around 100 young musicians ages 16-19 are selected by nationwide audition, and they take part in a multi-week training residency with world-class conductors, soloists and leading professional orchestral musicians, followed by a national/international tour. In the past, NYO-USA has toured 21 countries and regions and has received high acclaim by critics and audiences. The programme also offers apprenticeships to students who are interested in roles beyond instrumental positions such as orchestral management, librarians, or composers. This year, Gianandrea Noseda (Conductor) and Ray Chen (Violin) will take part in their Japan tour.

Suntory Hall, who shares Carnegie Hall’s vision in nurturing the next generation, entered a partnership with Carnegie Hall in 2006 to work jointly towards creating the environment for the music education of the future generation. Since then, various exchange programs have taken place in Tokyo and New York based on this partnership, and this year, Suntory Hall is pleased to host NYO-USA’s first visit to Japan. For this concert, U19 tickets (for people aged 19 and under) will be available at a special price, in the hope that young people of the same generation as the NYO-USA members will be able to experience their passion-filled performances.

Message from Clive Gillinson, Executive and Artistic Director of Carnegie Hall
“We are very excited for the National Youth Orchestra of the USA’s debut concerts in Japan this summer. As the orchestra embarks on its tour across Asia, NYO-USA’s performance in Tokyo will be particularly special as it extends Carnegie Hall’s longstanding partnership with Suntory Hall, a relationship that has been about jointly embracing the best in music and ensuring it can make a meaningful difference in everyone’s life. I have spent a lot of time in Japan throughout my career, and have always found audiences there to be knowledgeable, appreciative, and engaged. I know the musicians of NYO-USA are in for an extraordinary summer—training and collaborating with world-renowned artists, performing in outstanding venues, and making new friends in Japan and beyond through music.”
