Comprising a "remarkable array of talent" (The New York Times), NYO2 is an orchestral training program for talented young players ages 14–17 with a focus on recruiting musicians from communities underrepresented in classical music. Capping its weeklong residency at the New World Center as part of a new partnership with the New World Symphony, NYO2 is joined by conductor Carlos Miguel Prieto and violinist Gil Shaham for a performance of Mexican and Russian masterpieces that include the vibrant suite from Revueltas's Redes, a Prokofiev concerto in which rich melodies frame a driving central movement, and Shostakovich's dramatic Symphony No. 5.
