Under the baton of Helen H. Cha-Pyo, the New Jersey Youth Symphony joins acclaimed guest artists, dancers, and musicians in performances featuring works by Leonard Bernstein, Raúl Abbad, John Chance Barnes, Edmar Castañeda, Reena Esmail, Charles Ives, and more. Through lively audience interaction, storytelling, and live demonstrations, students will discover how music builds bridges across cultures and celebrates our shared humanity.
