Performer: National Youth Orchestra of the USA

Breathtaking talent from the National Youth Orchestra of the USA on display at the Edinburgh International Festival.

The National Youth Orchestra of the USA present a monumental programme of Strauss and Berlioz.

As Proms debuts go, this would be difficult to beat. The newly formed National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America (NYO-USA) were fresh – literally, certainly no sign of fatigue – from an intensive two-week training residency followed by a tour which included the tall order of taking Tchaikovsky to Russia.
