Side by Side Concert

A collaborative orchestral performance brings together New World Symphony Fellows and student musicians for a shared concert experience at the New World Center on Miami Beach. Taking place Sunday, April 26, the Side-by-Side Concert features young instrumentalists in grades 7 through 12 performing alongside pre-professional Fellows under the direction of conductor Stéphane Denève. The program highlights both mentorship and musical exchange in a professional concert setting.

The repertoire includes a range of classical works, from Verdi’s overture to Nabucco to selections from Bizet’s Carmen Suites and Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries.” Violinist Amanda Nuñez is featured as a soloist in Wieniawski’s Violin Concerto No. 2, adding a showcase element to the evening.

Developed as an educational and performance initiative, the concert offers students the opportunity to rehearse and perform with advanced musicians, fostering technical growth and ensemble experience.
