The InterSchool Orchestras of New York will celebrate its service to two generations of New York’s young musicians by presenting a gala benefit concert at Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage at Carnegie Hall on Thursday, February 2, 2012, at 7:00 p.m.

The concert will feature all seven of the ISO ensembles including the ISO Symphony, the elite all-scholarship orchestra under the baton of Artistic Director Jeffrey Grogan; the ISO Symphonic Band, an advanced-level wind symphony, conducted by Brian Worsdale; the Concert Orchestra led by Eric Dudley; and the Carnegie Hill Orchestra conducted by Steven Rochen. ISO’s three beginner orchestras; the Morningside Orchestra, ISO at Turtle Bay and ISO Trinity Florentine will perform together under the direction of Robert Johnston and Amelia Hollander Ames. They will be joined by the Trinity Youth Chorus.

A highlight of the concert will be the world premiere of a new work for flute and orchestra by Lowell Liebermann with the Metropolitan Opera’s principal flute Stefán Ragnar Höskuldsson as soloist accompanied by the ISO Symphony.
