Join us for the opening concert of our 51st season when the acclaimed Philadelphia Brass will fill West Side’s sanctuary with the brilliance and power of brass chamber music. Known for dazzling technique, superb musicianship, engaging commentary, and a repertoire spanning centuries and styles, this celebrated quintet promises an afternoon with something for every listener.

The Grammy-winning New York Youth Symphony Orchestra, led by Music Director, Andrew J. Kim, is excited to be back at the West Side Concert Series. The program will feature a commission by An-Ni Wei, Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 performed by NYYS Alum Emily Tong, and will dive into Zemlinsky’s Die Seejungfrau (The Mermaid), a tone poem based on Hans Christian Andersen’s tale of sacrifice and longing.

As their name suggests, they celebrate peace through the inner healing and joy of music.
