In February 2027, Jonas will make his debut at Carnegie Hall in New York City, taking the podium to lead the National Youth Chorus. The three-day intensive residency will culminate in a concert at the iconic venue and is presented by National Concerts. Jonas will share conducting duties with co-guest conductor Herbert Washington.
The program features music by Elaine Hagenberg, Carl Nielsen, Patrick Vu, Brandon Boyd, Wilhelm Peterson-Berger, and Jonas himself. The concert will also present a world premiere by Sherry Blevins with text by Charles Anthony Silvestri.
The National Youth Chorus brings together singers from across the United States and around the world. Choirs are invited to apply to participate in this international project.
