Australian Youth Orchestra
An Alpine Season Triumph
Simone Young and Lisa Gasteen joined more than 100 of the best young players from around Australia on Saturday 28 July at the Queensland Performing Art Centre in an exciting program of Grainger, Wagner, and R. Strauss for AYO July Season. Playing to a sold-out house the concert drew standing ovations from the audience and cemented the orchestra’s reputation as one of Australia’s great musical ambassadors.
“For more than 50 years, the Australian Youth Orchestra has delivered some of the nation’s most memorable concerts, none more so than the monumental program presented in Brisbane at the weekend.” – Vincent Plush, The Australian
