Young People’s Concert: The Future Is Unity

The New York Philharmonic’s afternoon series — made famous by conductor, composer, and educator Leonard Bernstein — inspires a lifelong love of music through multimedia, interactive performances of music ranging from timeless classics to World Premieres. This season, we explore through music how pioneering ideas and events from the past can help us understand our world today.  Thomas Wilkins conducts the Young People’s Concert: The Future Is Unity as part of the NY Phil’s 2024–25 season exploration of Afromodernism. This family-friendly matinee concert explores the African diaspora’s influence to reimagine a unified future.  

Pre-Concert activities where kids can try out instruments, meet musicians, and craft with teaching artists and their fellow attendees begin at 1:00 PM. 

These concerts are perfect for kids ages 6-12.
