Stormy, heart-stirring, triumphant. Under the baton of Nicholas Carter, AYO’s flagship orchestra returned to the stage for their second season of the year, rising to the challenge of some of the biggest works of the orchestral canon.
Costa Hall, Geelong, and Hamer Hall, Melbourne, were transformed as communities and audiences came together to celebrate the musical passion and dedication of AYO’s incredible young musicians.
The world premiere of Iain Grandage’s Overt was a touching tribute to former AYO CEO Colin Cornish AM, radiant from the first downbeat.
Wagner’s tender ‘Prelude and Liebestod’ from Tristan und Isolde tugged on the heart strings, before the orchestra launched into Mahler’s mammoth Symphony No.5. Breathtaking soloists and lush string moments lead to a finale glowing with joy.
Congratulations to all of the musicians involved!
