The article "Still Young, Even at 50" was published on the website of The New York Times newspaper by Vivien Schweitzer on May 28, 2013. It reports about New York Youth Symphony at Carnegie Hall.
Speaking of the symphony it's neccessary to note that since 1984, it has awarded commissions to 102 composers age 30 and under, whose works have won three Pulitzer Prizes and the Grawemeyer Award, among other accolades. Those commissioned by the ensemble include Michael Torke, Aaron Jay Kernis, Augusta Read Thomas, Kevin Puts and Derek Bermel.
As part of this impressive commitment to music by living composers, the Youth Symphony — which offers tuition-free instruction to talented musicians ages 12 to 22 — presents a new piece at each of its Carnegie Hall concerts. On Sunday afternoon it was the premiere of John Glover’s “Natural Systems,” performed as part of the orchestra’s 50th-anniversary celebrations.
