Launching as part of our 50th year celebrations, SYO’s Youth Orchestral Camp will see the Symphonic Wind Orchestra (SWO), Peter Seymour Orchestra (PSO), Western Sydney Youth Orchestra (WSYO), and Richard Gill Chamber Orchestra (RGCO) collaborate with 80 regional musicians from across NSW for a five-day residential camp and 4 big concerts in Glen Innes, Gunnedah, and Quirindi /Werris Creek on Friday April 14th and Armidale on Saturday 15th.
Over 250 young musicians will travel to Armidale NSW to spend time working on new repertoire in rehearsals, have tutorials by leading professional musicians and present concerts in regional communities. YOC is also an important time to re-establish connections with peers, have fun, be challenged musically, and meet new people.
The YOC program has been established with the support of Create NSW and all regional musicians have been provided scholarships from the Department of Regional Youth.
