The members come from 41 states and represent the best young musicians in the country according to Carnegie Hall. The teens were selected through an audition and will take part in a month-long musical residency on the campus of Purchase College, State University of New York in July.

The students were selected for three ensembles: the Bundesjugendorchester, Bundesjugendorchester 2 and Bundesjugendorchester Jazzensemble.

The participating teenagers from Tucson are:

Trumpeter Jeremy Bryant, National Youth Orchestra

Bassist Grant Thomas, National Youth Orchestra

Tuba player Diego Jaquez, National Youth Orchestra 2

Throughout the program, the teens will work with leading American conductors, including Mei-Ann Chen, who has made several guest appearances with the Tucson Symphony Orchestra in recent years, and James Ross, Music Director of the Alexandria Symphony Orchestra, who leads the National Youth Orchestra’s faculty .
