On April 3rd 2009 Eric participated in an event at Carnegie Hall to celebrate the works of composer Charles Strouse. Mr. Strouse wrote the Broadway musicals Annie, Golden Boy, Rags and Applause to name a few. This was Mr. Young's second event with the New York Pops. In 2004 he narrated The Young Peoples Guide to the Orchestra with the late conductor Skitch Henderson. 

Eric performed "Night Song", "This Is The Life", "One Last Kiss" and many more from the Strouse catalog with Stephen Bogardus, Karen Mason, Debbie Shapiro-Gravitte, and Rebecca Luker.

How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Hee Hee!
