NYOGB
Kristjan Järvi conductor | Chad Hoopes soloist

The world's greatest orchestra of teenagers burns bright in this electrifying sound experience conducted by vibrant musical personality Kristjan Järvi.

Join virtuosic young soloist Chad Hoopes and 'the most uplifting orchestra in the world' (The Times), for Fire and Blood, a concerto by one of America's greatest composers Michael Daugherty. It's highly charged music, describing the fiery furnances of 1930's America car assembly lines, with colourful orchestration and pulsing rhythms.

In contrast Stravinsky’s masterpiece The Firebird is a romantic sparkling fairy-tale ballet based on the Russian legend, weaving human and supernatural worlds, and wonderfully showcasing every instrument in the orchestra.

A production of NYO in association with the Menuhin Competition.
