NEW YORK, NY – June 20, 2010 was a night to remember for Yamaha Violin Artist Antonio Pontarelli, performing for the first time at the world famous Carnegie Hall as Concertmaster of the World Civic Orchestra (WCO). The evening featured Pontarelli as soloist in a newly commissioned work by Dana Wilson titled "We Must Prevail," as well as the George Gershwin classic "Summertime." Playing on both an acoustic violin and his Yamaha EV-204 Electric Violin, Pontarelli brought his unique style to the evening, which was the inaugural concert for the World Civic Orchestra, conducted by WCO Music Director Vincent Koh.
