On Sunday, March 13th at Walt Disney Concert Hall at 2pm, AYS and the National Children’s Chorus will be led by Grammy Award-winning conductor David Alan Miller, current Music Director of the Albany Symphony, and former Associate Conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
Frequently in demand as a guest conductor, Maestro Miller has worked with most of America's major orchestras, including the orchestras of Baltimore, Buffalo, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Minnesota, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and San Francisco, as well as the New World Symphony, the Boston Pops and the New York City Ballet.
Tickets range from $15 to $43, reserve now!
At 7pm on February 20th at Royce Hall, AYS will be joined by not one, but two guest conductors. Conductor and Grammy-nominated violinist Robert McDuffie will lead the orchestra in Philip Glass’ The American Four Seasons, and Maestro Marc Williams will conduct Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade.
Maestro McDuffie gave the world premiere of The American Four Seasons -- a work written for and dedicated to him by composer Philip Glass -- with the Toronto Symphony, and completed a thirty-city U.S. tour with the Venice Baroque Orchestra, pairing the Glass Four Seasons with the Vivaldi Four Seasons. He enjoys a dynamic and multi-faceted career, appearing as soloist with the world's foremost orchestras, while also occasionally sharing the stage with Gregg Allman and Chuck Leavell in "Midnight Rider," with actress/playwright Anna Deavere Smith in Martin Luther King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail," or playing Bach for Memphis Jook dancerLi'l Buck.
Maestro Marc Williams regularly conducts various ensembles on the East Coast of the United States, having made his Carnegie Hall debut leading the New York–based contemporary music ensemble Second Instrumental Unit, of which he served as co-executive director and principal conductor. He also recently served on the conducting staff at Spoleto Festival USA for seven seasons as Resident Conductor and assistant to the Music Director. Maestro Williams is also a Resident Conductor with the American Youth Symphony this season.
This Spring, the American Youth Symphony will treat its audiences to a series of appearances by a host of renowned guest conductors!
Collaborations with these varied and highly respected conductors promise a suite of concerts that will delight audiences across Los Angeles. The majority of AYS concerts are presented for free as a gift to the community – part of a long-standing commitment to eliminating all barriers to experiencing the remarkable beauty, power and inspiration of orchestral masterworks.
Conducting the 11am Family Concert at Royce Hall on February 20th is Juan Felipe Molano. Maestro Molano is currently the conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic's Youth Orchestra Los Angeles (YOLA), and previously held that position with the Colombian Youth Philharmonic, Youth Orchestra Salinas (California), Caldas Chamber Orchestra, Cali Youth Philharmonic and Bogota Youth Philharmonic. During 2008-2013 he was the National Orchestral Director of Batuta Colombian System of Youth Orchestras (El Sistema - Colombia). This concert officially kicks off Maestro Molano's first season as a Resident Conductor with the American Youth Symphony.
Maestro Molano will lead the orchestra in a program that includes Britten’s The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra, designed to entertain and engage both young children and classical music enthusiasts of all ages. This concert is presented at no-charge to the public and sponsored by First 5 LA and the Charles H. Kaman Charitable Foundation.
The Los Angeles Fine Art Show takes place in conjunction with the LA Art Show, which welcomed more than 60,000 art enthusiasts to the Los Angeles Convention Center at its 20th Anniversary event in 2015.
The Los Angeles Fine Art Show will open with a benefit for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital on Wednesday, January 27th. Public hours begin on Thursday January 28th and continue through Sunday, January 31st.
