Live at Level 28 2019

On Thursday the 6th of June, Sydney Youth Orchestras hosted our third annual Live at Level 28 gala. Held at Allens Linklaters, with views of the Sydney Harbour and the Sydney Vivid Festival, the evening was a cause for celebration and an opportunity to showcase SYO. Joined by the members of the Macquarie Group Choir, members of SYCE (Sydney Youth Chamber Ensemble) entertained the guests. Food and drinks were generously provided by Allens, Four Pillars Distillery, Moonlight Flat oysters, Caking Naked and BackVintage wines. This was in the surrounds of Allen's exclusive Australian art collections where the attendees were absorbed in an evening of music, arts and culture.

The evening proceeded with the debut performance of SYO's newest ensemble - SYCE (Sydney Youth Chamber Ensemble), who performed under the guidance of Artistic Director Umberto Clerici - principal Cellist at the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. Formalities were opened with an official introduction from SYO General Manager, Mia Patoulios who spoke on the invaluable support of the SYO contributors who give students across NSW the opportunity to access SYO's programs and be given the chance to reach their musical potential that would otherwise be out of their reach.

Host Christopher North gave attendees the opportunity to directly support SYO Opportunity and Outreach programs that enable young musicians with either geographical or financial barriers to participation,. The formal part of the evening concluded with a performance by SYCE and Umberto Clerici on cello. The evening proceeded into further networking and the opportunity to show support for SYO.

The SYO Opportunity Fund ensures that talented young people can have access to exceptional teachers and conductors regardless of their financial circumstances and allows us to provide programs for young musicians and communities in geographically isolated areas of New South Wales.

The contribution made to the SYO Opportunity Fund has created priceless change for the lives of many young musicians at SYO. Make an impact on a young persons life and give today.
