On February 3, 2018, the Northwestern University Symphony Orchestra presented a preview concert featuring repertoire from the orchestra’s upcoming tour of China. The program included Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 5 and Leonard Bernstein’s Symphonic Dances from West Side Story. 

From March 23 to April 1, 2018, ninety Bienen School of Music students will travel to China to perform this program in Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong as part of NUSO's first international tour.
