On May 27, 2005 approximately 180 young musicians from The Music School of the Rhode Island Philharmonic will make their debut in Carnegie Hall.  This will certainly be a first for all the members of the Rhode Island Philharmonic Youth Orchestra (RIPYO), the Rhode Island Philharmonic Wind Ensemble (RIPYWE) and the Junior Providence Singers @ The Music School (JPS), but it will also be a first for The Music School.  We are all very excited about this upcoming experience and we hope that many of your friends and family will be able to join us in New York City for this big event. 

As you can imagine, planning an event like this requires a great deal of logistics and details. Our goal is to use this site to provide performers and parents with all the latest updated information about the trip.
