On a warm summer evening in Valladolid, Spain, people settled into their seats in a spacious concert hall to hear classical music. But when the house lights dimmed, the performers who filed onstage and began tuning their instruments weren't seasoned adult musicians. They were college students, high schoolers, and even middle schoolers. The New York Youth Symphony (NYYS) was about to play another night on their 2019 Spain tour.
