European Union Youth Orchestra

The string quartet of the Youth Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine performed in New York. On August 5, Oksana Butrynska, Anna Zygmont, Kateryna Telina, and Sofia Frantseva performed works by Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904), George Gershwin (1898-1937), and Vitaly Gubarenko (1934-2000) at The Kosciuszko Foundation The audience was delighted with the performance and noted the relevance of the work of Ukrainian composer Vitaly Hubarenko, which can become a hit at chamber music concerts. And the next day, August 6, Ukrainian musicians played on the Carnegie Hall stage together with European Union Youth Orchestra as special guests. In a joint performance, EUYO and YSOU, led by the legendary Hungarian conductor Ivan Fischer, performed Anna Klein's Masquerade, Donagna's Variations on a Nursery Rhyme with pianist Izata Canné-Mason as soloist, as well as Mahler's Symphony No. 1. The concert took place as part of the First World Orchestra Week at Carnegie Hall WOW! (August 1-7, 2024), in which teams from five continents took part. The musicians' performances were supported by Razom and the Ukrainian Institute. Фото: Dinara Kharipova.

𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗲𝗻𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗴 𝟭𝟱𝟬 is go! Here we are on 26 July, performing five different programmes celebrating the work of Arnold Schoenberg. From Schoenberg's virtuosic Wind Quintet, Op. 26 to the extraordinary 'Verklärte Nacht', the Six Little Piano Pieces and the String Quartet No. 4, Op. 37, Schoenberg's many worlds were paired and contrasted with music by Bach, Brahms, Schoenberg's brother-in-law and counterpoint teacher Zemlinsky, Olga Neuwirth...and also Bernstein, Berlin, Skalkottas and Andressen. We felt hugely proud of our musicians, playing some of the most demanding music in the repertoire with such intensity and verve. All day, music and musicians roamed across Vienna, from a packed Arnold Schoenberg Center to the Hotel Bristol Vienna, over to Vienna Secession and then the Leopold Museum-Privatstiftung, and finally a sunny Hyblerpark with Kultursommer Wien. And we haven't finished our journey with Schoenberg yet (if such a thing could ever be possible!). Don't miss 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗲𝗻𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗴'𝘀 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲, our 'Prelude' concert at Grafenegg Summer Sounds on 3 August; and a little later, we'll also bring Schoenberg 150 to the Austrian Cultural Forum New York.
