PATCHOGUE, NY - Today, Congressman Lee Zeldin (R, NY-1) congratulated Lawrence Chai of Mount Sinai for being selected and playing the viola in the 2022 National Youth Orchestra of the United States (NYO-USA). Each summer, Carnegie Hall brings together young instrumentalists from across the country to form three music ensembles, including the NYO-USA for talented musicians between the ages of 16 and 19. This year the ensembles met at Purchase College SUNY for training led by a faculty of professional musicians and NYO-USA embarked on a tour of Europe following their training.
“I want to congratulate Lawrence Chai from Mt. Sinai, New York, on being selected to participate in the National Youth Orchestra of the United States. Each year NYO-USA selects the most talented young musicians from across our country to participate in their program and I wish Lawrence all the best as he pursues what is sure to be an exceptionally bright future,” said Congressman Zeldin.
