American, Australian, Czech, Finnish, French, German, Russian, and Scottish traditions. Orchestra concerts will feature
renowned guest conductors such as Austrian composer/conductor H.K. Gruber, performing the chansonnier role in his
celebrated pandemonium Frankenstein!!; British Maestro Mark Wigglesworth, a favorite of NWS' audiences, conducting
the performance of Tchaikovsky's last work, Symphony No.6 .Pathetique"; Robert Spano, Music Director of the Atlanta

and presentations; one-on-one music mentoring; the Side-by-Side Concert, where students join their NWS mentors
onstage at the Lincoln Theatre; and the Kids in the Concert Hall series of four free educational daytime concerts, for
