The Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra, including four DGN musicians (Emma Krause, Catherine Ramsey, Miles Teague, and Jesse Wei), will be featured in a CNN primetime special, "The Fourth in America." The nationally televised broadcast will feature fireworks displays from across the country and salute those working on the front line of the pandemic. As one of just two youth orchestras invited to participate, CYSO Symphony Orchestra students recorded a virtual performance of Aaron Copland's "Hoe-Down."
Other orchestras featured in Saturdays event include the US Army Field Band, “The President’s Own” US Marine Band, US Navy Band, Colorado Symphony, Houston Symphony, New York Philharmonic, New York Youth Symphony, and San Francisco Symphony, as well as a star-studded line up of bands and performers.
