In our inaugural concert, the WCO ignited the stage at Carnegie Hall with Beethoven’s famous Ninth Symphony. 87 orchestral musicians and 120 choral singers from around the USA and around the world, representing 18 countries came together through their shared passion of music and to share in one common goal – fill the differences of the world we live in today. The WCO was joined by soloists Jo Ellen Miller (soprano), Blythe Gaissert (mezzo-soprano), Injoon Yang (tenor), and Randall Scarlata (baritone) under the leadership of Music Director & Conductor, Vincent Koh.
