The nearly 10,500 New York City-area students who have taken part in the Link Up program in their classroom over the last school year will travel to Carnegie Hall to take part in one of six concerts in Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage on Tuesday, May 23, Wednesday, May 24, and Thursday, May 25. This is the first time that live Link Up concerts have been able to take place at Carnegie Hall since 2019, due to the pandemic.

 

The theme of this year’s concerts is Link Up: The Orchestra Moves—an interactive program developed by Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute that explores how composers use the orchestra to create musical movement as well as the connections between music and physical movement. Throughout the school year, students analyze and interpret how music moves through meter, melodic patterns, and expressive qualities in their classrooms.

The concert program, hosted by 14-year-old Broadway actress Emiko Dunn, features Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser conducting the Link Up Orchestra, which includes current fellows and alums of Ensemble Connect and Carnegie Hall’s national youth ensembles, as well as other dynamic performers and music educators. School children perform from their seats as Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser conducts. The program also welcomes elementary school students to perform onstage as part of the orchestra.
