The Young Musicians Foundation (YMF) Debut Orchestra opens the 2015-16 Season with a tribute concert in memory of its founder, Sylvia Kunin (1913-2015).
Since 1955, Kunin endowed YMF with the vision of providing support for emerging classical-music talents. Four such talents, who now boast international performance careers, will be reunited in a rare collaboration that is not to be missed!
Lawrence Foster (pictured), an alumnus of the YMF Music Director and Conductor in Training Program ('61-'64), will return to lead the orchestra in Beethoven's Triple Concerto, with former New York Philharmonic Concertmaster violinist Glenn Dicterow, cellist Nathaniel Rosen, and pianist Gerald Robbins, of world-renown.
Maestro Foster will also conduct Schumann's Manfred Overture, and pass the baton along to YMF's newly appointed Music Director and Conductor Yuga Cohler, who will lead the orchestra in Debussy's Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun and Schubert's Overture to Rosamunde.
