Carnegie Hall has announced the roster for the 2017 National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America, and Minnesota's lone representative is 2016 Minnesota Varsity Showcase Artist Anders Peterson of Northfield, Minn.
116 outstanding musicians between ages 16 to 19 have been selected from across the country, and they'll be performing in Mexico, Ecuador, and Colombia, as well as New York. This Latin American tour will be led by acclaimed conductor Marin Alsop, in a program that features a newly-commissioned work by Gabriela Lena Frank.
Here's a video featuring Peterson from Minnesota Varsity 2016.
