NY Philharmonic Young Peoples Cocert

We began taking our Grandchildren to the Young People's Concerts 8 years ago.  There are 4 concerts per year, and before the 1 hour concert, they have a 30 minute presentation called the Young Composers Concert.  Three children from this city-wide music program are selected to have members of the Philharmonic play their short compositions.  Here is a quick drawing of the head of the program, John Deake, and the trumpet player.

I debate about adding this type of sketchbook page to the Urban Sketchers Facebook Page, but thought this was a good advertisement for an amazing opportunity for kids in our urban city.

This is lovely, Shirley! I just stumbled upon your sketch because I'm a pianist + composer working on a project with the young composers this year, and so happy to see you supporting them. It's a wonderful initiative to inspire the students to dream up of something amazing and have it performed by phenomenal musicians.
This year, we're doing something a bit different, but I'd be happy to connect with you!
