Kudos to all, but kudos especially to the principal trumpet!!! He has some of the most beautiful tone quality and expression that I've ever heard from a trumpet player, That includes the pros!
There are so many great youth orchestras around the world, and these kids are right up there with the best of them. What a joy to watch and listen to them play this Copland suite.

Wonderful performance of an American classic. This is an experience these kids will remember their whole lives. Copland in Carnegie Hall!
Aaron would've been delighted by these talented youth. Trumpet solos right on! The cellos in the quiet middle section took me to the prairie.
It is heartwarming to see such wonderful kids so well disciplined
The oboist was amazing, great control!!
a classic performance by a great bunch of kids and conductor.
Wonderful job by both conductor and orchestra.
THIS. Really wonderful work here! That young man on trumpet took a great opportunity and ran with it. Fabulous!
Bloody hell, LOVED this! What great kids! Performing perhaps my favourite piece from the great Aaron Copland. Thank you for posting this.
Fantastic. This is a favorite piece for me. I've never seen it performed and it's a treat. Thanks.
Wonderful performance!
great experience for young folks
..and for everyone else too! Great music and great playing!

They never show the percussion. Too bad.
Ruined by 6 adverts, at least I know what Im never going to buy now, thanks TH-cam
Why are they wearing tshirts and not something slightly more formal like a symphony orchestra would be wearing.
