Partners in Excellence
Besides our students, NYO-China’s greatest asset are the remarkable musicians who serve as mentors for members of the ensemble whether that be onstage or in the rehearsal room. By working alongside superlative artists and faculty, the exceptional young instrumentalists that comprise the orchestra can be inspired to learn as much as they do and motivated to perform as brilliantly as their potential allows.
Below is a catalog of all the distinguished artists and faculty that NYO-China has had the privilege of collaborating with in past seasons.
