- NYO-USA performs Bernstein’s Symphonic Dances from West Side Story in the orchestra’s Carnegie Hall debut on July 22, 2014, under the direction of David Robertson. Watch additional highlights from this concert at: bit.ly/1nCz8oF
West Side Story, first produced on Broadway in 1957, is universally recognized as a landmark in the history of American musical theater. After an initial run of 732 performances, it returned to the Great White Way for the first of many revivals in 1960, the same year in which Leonard Bernstein invited the show’s orchestrators to extract a concert suite from his score.

Each summer, Carnegie Hall's Weill Music Institute brings together the brightest young musicians from across the country (ages 16-19) to form the National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America (NYO-USA). In 2014, following a two-week training residency with leading professional orchestra musicians, these remarkable teenagers were joined by conductor David Robertson and violinist Gil Shaham for an eight-city coast-to-coast US tour.

Love how the conductor is wearing matching sneakers.
Oh my goodness... I was prepared to be a bit reserved in my judgement given how young these players are. No need. This was a no-apologies kick butt performance. Amazing power and beauty. Bravo!
Makes me hope for the future in spite of the present. Young people with dedication, diligence and the ability to hear. What more can we ask? Amazing music played faultlessly.
I remember this performance like it was yesterday!

Love how the conductor, David Robertson, is having such a blast leading his young musicians through this amazing score! Just beautiful!
This is by far the best performance of Bernstein's Symphonic Dances from West Side Story I have EVER heard. Everything is just right - the character, the emotions, the everything!
And so inspiring! Bravo!
You may or may not know that the the National Youth Orchestra of the USA post dated and was inspired by the creation of Doctor Jose Antonio Abreu, the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela. Check out this version of Bernstein's West Side Story for comparison purposes.

You will be amazed. Sadly the tyrant Maduro has cancelled the program, probably Venezuela's best ambassadorial program. More sadly, Doctor Abreu died this past month (March 2018).
no
5:29-- lovely!! So much emotion + flawless execution!
Congrats to each and every one of them.
Stunning playing of a timeless masterpiece of musical theater.
Ah...youth.
roughly half an hour ago, I've been to a place where this was performed live by the Halle orchestra. I will truly never forget tonight, and I of course had to go right to youtube to listen to this phenomenal piece again. Blew my mind completelt, I loved every single second of it, at the edge of my seat i could not contain myself from grinning wildly, every crescendo lifting my soul to the very ceiling
Dat Bass Section
So glad to have discovered this! The communication between conductor and instrumentalists is palpable and so exciting! I've lost track of how many times I've watched this! Amazing!
Exquisitely performed!...by kids!!! Best musical of all time.
Absolutely stunning. Gave me tears.
I'll be playing at Carnegie hall next year I'm so excited
how’d it go?
@@danieldavis2049 it got canceled. 🙃 the school refused to pay for it because the conductor said he wanted everyone to go.
Bravo! Wonderful young musicians!
WOW. Superb performance.
Got chills!
WOW! Such talented players.All of them with their long playing lives ahead of them. Thank you. (By the way, this is STILL my favourite musical of all time!)
Very nice! Thank you kindly for this great moment.
Masterful composition masterfully executed. The concert black/red is 🔥
Sempre me emociono ao ouvir essa sinfonia de Leonard Bernstein...Genial! Essa interpretação em especial, pelo fato de ser executada por jovens talentosos.
Beautiful, brilliant work. Love the original Soundtrack, but this is wonderful as well. Thanks for sharing! 😚 😚 😚
Truly amazing!! Just beautiful, and thank you for sharing this video. :-)
Happy 100th year birthday "Lennie"! You certainly earned yoiur wa y into the Pantheon of Musical Greats/Geniuses a long time ago. And you were certainly a brilliant conductor of the NY Philharmonic and that Vienna orchestra.
I'm in tears. They are so talented, and they all look so happy :)
Sarah Files sorry to break the news to you but they were deprived of proper nutritious meals for 3 months before this performance and forced to smile or they will have to sleep on the floor and suck the moisture from the floorboards to survive
Sarah Files In the TRUE definition of the word.........awesome!
+Daniel Santiago Zanker Ovalle so true :D
absolutely wonderful !!
FANTASTIC!!
very nice beautiful play !
You guys play music with all your heart, bravo :) i'm a fan of yours :) we also have that piece but unfortunately after so many years i didn't have the chance to play it again,
What a masterpiece :"""")
Se Leonard Bernestein estivesse vivo, ficaria muito contente de ver sua obra sendo executada com tanta originalidade e capricho. Parabéns pela brilhante regência, parabéns pela belíssima execução dos músicos.
This looks like massive fun to play and a massive headache to keep together
Lots of criticism but nobody has mentioned conductor David Robertson. HE stirs the pot. If you don't care for the styling of this performance, lay it on him. The kids are terrific and, for me, so is he. These are high school kids together for 2 weeks only.
I played this piece with the U.K. NYO and to be honest I prefer your arrangement
Stupenda orchestra, ottimi esecutori e musica celestiale
MAGNIFICA
5:17 finally a viola player got a solo
Wow! Super!
WOW! que HERMOSURA!!!
Great :)
Creo que Lenny estaría super contento. Bravo!
Yeah, me too.
Woah
his face is killing me XD 5:40
but still he is a great oboe player
Yeah, now he’s principal English horn of the New York philharmonic!!!
@@gabel.g7812 oh wowww!
Wishing to see you soon :) even though i'm not that too great in playing instruments
good
lit
19:48 unbelievable!
I wish they had included America though... a fun departure with a very powerful finish...
Hi,
what means choke cymb (warning: not chokeD cymb) at the beginnig of
Symphonic Dances? I guess a SPLASH cymbal. Not a normal muffled
suspended cymbal (the note is different on the five lines system; in
addition on the same score we see a "choke cymbal" with legatura meaning
"let it vibrate"!!) nor a Hi-hat (when Lennie want an hi-hat he simply write
hi-hat). Thanks
Shapo to next generatio !!!

12:08 for reference
11:18 lmao first trombone didn’t have enough balls to yell “mambo” and come back in on the high b natural
He did yell “MAMBO.”
Jennifer Benson whoops, I meant the first trombone
How about who cares?

@@gabrielbustos2706 LOLOL okay bro, you're so cool.
Biggest bass section I've ever seen
Does anyone know they song they played from 2:00 to 5:00?
It's known as 'Prologue'

Here, at Carnegie Hall, we specialize in professional musicians who play prof- 1:37 , uhm, scratch that off the list
Alright alright, start over, Here, at Carnegie Hall, we specialize in discipline and- 2:29 , god fucking dammet ROBERT STOP PUSHING HIM!
ALRIGHT, ONE LAST TIME! Here, at Carnegie Hall, we are about professional looks- 20:20 *narrator quits*
What’s so bad?
@@theotherdude3436and he didn’t push him he leaned forward as the other guy was turning the music
Looking at the basses ... any bass players on here to talk German grip v. French grip?
Judi Gunn Personally I prefer German because of the stress it takes off your wrist. I suffered from awful carpal tunnel for over a year before switching from French, there's just something so natural about German grip that makes it almost effortless.

Dude?
DUDE???????
You silly fucker!
Is this really the best trumpet section the USA can produce??
apparently.........
1st Trumpet having some difficulties
2:29...did I see a viola player fooling around with a 😡 face?? #mightbewrong🤷🏻♂️
Really rude of the violinist to shove that guy in front of her at 2:28
1. Im pretty sure that was a guy (notice the uniform)
2. Im also pretty sure he was turning the page.
Nice performance, but mono sound. ☹️
Clearly I'm out of place here compared the the comments so far, but this performance comes across as way too technically clean. If anyone, it's teenagers who know how to party and are full of unexpressed passion but I don't feel/ hear/ see any of that (except, possibly, the flute player in "Cool"). Such a pity. My heart sinks if this represents the kind of live music societies in the USA can expect in years to come. C'mon guys - let go! Be passionate! Show the love and hurt you can't express with words! Party! Being technically brilliant is only the beginning of music.
Sorry! The playing is conducted by the guy on the podium. These players can make music anyway they are directed. Clearly you are out of place, and playing out of tune.
Bill Sullivan Thanks for the enlightenment, Bill. As a Conductor myself for 25+ years on four continents, I'm aware of everyone's roles, thanks. But I'll keep quiet now - obviously no-one is allowed an alternative perspective/ opinion here.

***** Fair point! Actually, I am more disappointed with the overly gushing and somewhat artificial praise of the commentators below rather than the performers. This may be the "Best performance... I have EVER heard" for some, but then I guess that doesn't say much for the performances that have been heard to date. And, not to be too contrary, there are a vast number of orchestras made up of teenagers throughout the world who do let go, are far more passionate, and less clinical than this orchestra - particularly in the UK and South America. I see no reason to give this bunch of talented young folk a false impression that they are the absolute best, when they are clearly not by global standards.
+Stephen P Brown Which youth Orchestras do you speak of? I believe all are entitled to opinions but if you speak of say, Dudamel's Simón Bolívar Orchestra from the El Systema Program, many of the artists that make up this orchestra are no longer youth musicians, contrary to popular belief. I believe the average age of that group is now somewhere around 24. I digress, I think the point here is that CH has created a spectacular program for our Nation's young musicians, and they perform as well as anyone else, objectively speaking. I may be biased, but I think Maestro Robertson did a spectacular job leading this Orchestra; he did just win a Grammy, so he must be doing something right...
not so good for me. lifeless. try Dudamel venezuela youth symphony
Ed Herold agreed man
Listen to Britain and Australia's youth orchestras. This is low quality rubbish and it really tells the standard of music education in the US if those are the "best."
George Lee You know, this is a real masterpiece and takes a long time to learn. And if you can’t appreciate it, then why are you here?
Nonsense. Americans are incapable of composing "masterpieces."
australia youth orchestra is for up to like 25 years old though...
