Witness a dream come true for the founders of Wintergreen Music in a concert celebrating side-by-side performances of LEAD Cooperative students and Festival Artists. What makes this concert so unique is that the mentor for this project is none other than Andrew Litton, Music Director of the New York City Ballet. Litton has conducted George Balanchine’s stunning ballet Serenade perhaps more than any other conductor in the country – a remarkable opportunity for the next generation to bring his interpretation of Tchaikovsky’s Serenade to life through the lens of the 2023 LEAD Cooperative conductors.
