The music director of the New York Youth Symphony is often a rising star, and the talented, energetic Joshua Gersen, who currently holds the post, is no exception. He was recently named assistant conductor of the New York Philharmonic, a prime steppingstone to a major career. On Sunday afternoon at Carnegie Hall, he leads his superlative youth orchestra in Beethoven’s Violin Concerto (with Elena Urioste as soloist), Rimsky-Korsakov’s colorful “Scheherazade” and the premiere of Jonas Tarm’s “Marsh U Nebuttya,” the latest fruit of the ensemble’s robust commissioning program. (2 p.m., 212-247-7800, nyyouthsymphony.org.)
The next night, the dazzling pianist Kirill Gerstein arrives at Carnegie’s downstairs Zankel Hall with a characteristically daunting set of works that were all originally intended, at least nominally, as exercises. The program includes selections from Bartok’s “Mikrokosmos,” Bach’s Three-Part Inventions and, in a rare feat, all of Liszt’s devilishly difficult “Transcendental Études.” (7:30 p.m. Monday, 212-247-7800, carnegiehall.org.)
