Youth orchestra promises drama, passion and romance

Warkworth Music are delighted to present New Zealand’s premier regional youth orchestra at the Warkworth Town Hall on Sunday, 23 June, at 4pm.

Warkworth Music spokesperson Lisa Outwin says the Auckland Youth Orchestra (AYO) has been responsible for igniting the passion for performance in many of New Zealand’s best orchestral musicians.

“Come and be inspired by the drama of Strauss’ Horn Concerto No.1, enjoy the romanticism of Mouquet’s La Flute de Pan and experience the emotion of Prokofiev’s lyrical farewell Symphony No.7.

Don’t miss this opportunity to attend a very special concert from this wonderful orchestra,” she says.  
The orchestra was founded in 1948 and draws its members from throughout the wider Auckland region, providing them with a wide range of cultural experiences.

Most members are university or secondary school students who have already developed a high level of proficiency on their instrument. Over the years, the AYO has provided an expert training ground for over 3000 young musicians, and a platform for gifted young soloists and potential professional musicians.

Tickets are cash only, available at the door. Warkworth Music members $25, non-members $35, school students free.
