Boerne High School sophomore violinist Sam Igbo has been invited to be a member of the National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America for the 2022 season. Igbo was named to the All-State Orchestra earlier in the school year.
As a member of NYO-USA, Igbo will have the chance to come together with an outstanding group of peers from across the country, learn from worldclass faculty and guest artists and serve as a cultural ambassador for the United States while traveling and performing abroad, information from BISD stated.
The 2022 NYO-USA program runs from July 16 through August 11 and begins with a two-week residency at Purchase College, SUNY, where musicians will work with orchestra Director James Ross and a faculty of principal players from many of America’s greatest orchestras. Following the residency and a performance at Carnegie Hall, NYO-USA will embark on a tour of Europe, including concerts in Amsterdam, Berlin and Lucerne, under the direction of Daniel Harding, with cellist Alisa Weilerstein as guest soloist.
