You and three guests will attend an upcoming Philharmonia Orchestra of New York (PONY), a performance conducted by Maestro Atsushi Yamada. Following the performance, you will have the opportunity to meet with Maestro Yamada.

In 2000, Atsushi Yamada made his American debut conducting Rossini’s The Barber of Seville on the NYCO’s national tour. In 2002, he was assigned as the Assistant Conductor for the NYCO, and in November 2003 was selected as Regular Conductor for Hansel and Gretel, making a sensational debut at Lincoln Center.

Atsushi was the second Japanese conductor to perform at Lincoln Center after Maestro Seiji Ozawa, and the first Japanese conductor of the NYCO. In November 2013, he was appointed as the Principal Conductor for the New York City Opera Orchestra (NYCOO), the independently restructured orchestra of the bankrupted NYCO.
