Fukushima is still recovering from the Great East Japan Earthquake, which struck on March 11, 2011. The night began with Benjamin Britten\u2019s \u2018The Young Person\u2019s Guide to the Orchestra,\u2019 led by assistant conductor Joshua Weilerstein and narrated in Japanese by music director Alan Gilbert, whose mother, Philharmonic violinist Yoko Takebe, is from Japan. This led into a special feature, \u2018Music for Fukushima,\u2019 which comprised short pieces composed by students between the ages of 10 and 15, and is the result of an ongoing project between Fukushima and New York youth. The Japanese pieces were written by students studying composition under professor Takehito Shimazu of Fukushima University.\u2026 Inspired by these compositions, the New York-based students of the Philharmonic\u2019s Very Young Composers program wrote their own compositions in response, resulting in a symphonic back-and-forth.\u201d The current issue of <\/a>Symphony<\/a> <\/em>reports on several young-composer projects, including the New York Philharmonic\u2019s. <\/p>\n
