The orchestra will deliver a total of seven concerts in the USA. Playing in cities including Fairfax, Danville, Selinsgrove and Worcester, the highlight will certainly be their performance at New York’s acclaimed Carnegie Hall. The programme will feature Johannes Brahms' Violin Concerto in D minor as well as symphonic works by Ludwig van Beethoven and Antonín Dvořák. The famous American violinist Robert McDuffie will play the solo part while the orchestra will be led by its Music Director, Steven Mercurio.
The CNSO returns to the USA for the third time. Most recently in the winter of 2019, the orchestra performed music by Leonard Bernstein under the baton of John Mauceri, who alternated with Steven Mercurio at the conductor's desk.
