In a popular all-concerto program—a staple of NWS—select Fellows take the coveted spotlight as winners of this season’s concerto competition, an intense contest where Fellows compete head-to-head, armed with their favorite solo work. This year’s winners perform show-stopping works from the 20th century, including ultra-Romantic concertos for horn and cello, a virtuosic tour de force for trumpet, and a fiery piano feature by Cosmé McMoon—famed accompanist of Florence Foster Jenkins. Join former Assistant Conductor of the New York Philharmonic and NWS alumnus Joshua Gersen as we celebrate the immeasurable talent and accomplishments of young musicians who call the New World Symphony home.
Mr. Mariscal will perform on a cello by Francesco Rugieri, Cremona c. 1690 on generous loan from Florian Leonhard Fine Violins, London-New York.
