How does a composition for orchestra come into being? Join us for this inaugural event featuring young musicians from Juilliard’s Music Advancement Program (MAP) and the Philharmonic's Very Young Composers as we explore a newly commissioned work by composer Trevor Weston, from its inception to World Premiere.

Arrive early for YPC Overtures, on the Leon and Norma Hess Grand Promenade and Hearst Tier 1, where children can try out orchestral instruments and families can engage in crafting and interactive workshops. Activities begin at 1pm.

About Juilliard Music Advancement Program

MAP is a Saturday program for intermediate and advanced music students from New York City's five boroughs and the tristate area who demonstrate a commitment to artistic excellence. The program actively seeks students from diverse backgrounds underrepresented in the classical music field and provides full-tuition scholarships to all students. Through a rigorous curriculum, performance opportunities, and guidance from an accomplished faculty, MAP students gain the necessary skills to pursue advanced music studies while developing their talents as artists, leaders, and global citizens. MAP is led by Artistic Director Anthony McGill and is generously supported through an endowed gift in memory of Carl K. Heyman.
