The National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America (NYO-USA) is an American youth orchestra organized by Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute. It was established in 2012, and its first concert tour took place in the summer of 2013. Each summer, following an application and audition process, about 120 musicians ages 16 to 19 attend a two-week residency at Purchase College, New York, followed by a national or international tour. == History == Perhaps the last national youth orchestra in the United States was the short-lived All-American Youth Orchestra, established by maestro Leopold Stokowski in 1940 before disbanding in 1942. In January 2012 Carnegie Hall announced the launch of the National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America (NYO-USA).〔 The orchestra was created by Weill Music Institute, the hall’s music education and community outreach wing. The NYO-USA was set up along broadly similar lines to the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain. Since becoming Executive and Artistic Director of Carnegie Hall in 2005, British-born Sir Clive Gillinson, who himself participated in the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain, expressed disbelief that there was not a national youth orchestra in America and worked with colleagues and stakeholders to establish one.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
