World-traveled and celebrated as one of the greatest youth orchestras in the country, the MYA Symphony performed such pieces in the 2013-14 season as the Shostakovich Symphony No. 5, and the Dvorak “New World” Symphony No. 9. This special performance will incorporate students from the Lang Lang Young Scholars Program performing piano concertos by Grieg, Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin. The Lang Lang Young Scholars Program is designed to support talented young pianists and allow them to perform and give back to their communities in an effort to build an appreciation of classical music for a young audience.
