THE NORTHERN RIVERS YOUTH ORCHESTRA RETURNS IN 2022

THE NORTHERN RIVERS YOUTH ORCHESTRA RETURNS IN 2022
In very exciting news, the highly popular Northern Rivers Youth Orchestra will return in the October school holidays after a two year hiatus due to Covid-19. Scores of young musicians from across the region – including buddies from the Sydney Youth Orchestra and Sydney and Queensland conservatoriums – will converge on the Northern Rivers Conservatorium to become the Northern Rivers Youth Orchestra 2022. The three-day orchestral workshop will culminate in a finale concert at The Whitebrook Theatre, SCU, at 6:30pm on Thursday 6th October. The concert will be free to all.
Now in its ninth year, the NRYO 2022 programme will extend regional music students by providing the opportunity to experience the social and educational benefits of playing together in a large ensemble. This year we will have both senior and junior orchestras, as well as the Senior Strings and Symphonic Wind Band.
‘Speaking as someone who has done it every year since 2012, it is such an incredibly fun, rewarding and motivating experience… alumni from NRYO have gone on to be world-class soloists and ensemble performers,’ says Tilly Jones, local performer/composer and NRC librarian.
NRYO 2022 will bring a wide range of music from the high energy to the sublime, sourced from the movies, iconic bands and the great symphonies, and including composers such as Gershwin, Mozart, Rimsky-Korsakov, and John Williams. We are pleased to have guest conductors coming from the Central Coast and Clarence Valley Conservatoriums, working in conjunction with our own music staff. The workshops will be held from 4th–6th October, and participants can enrol here: enrol.nrcac.edu.au.
