Romeo and Juliet; the tale of tragic love and languish coupled with the intensely evocative music of Sergei Prokofiev equipped the Australian Youth Orchestra with all the inspiration needed to produce yet another successful season of music making.’ – Giovanni, Double Bass

Conductor in rehearsal with orchestra

Our February Season Concerts at The Arts Centre Gold Coast and the Queensland Performing Arts Centre saw our musicians perform alongside celebrated young soloist, Maxwell Foster. We loved being back in the sunshine state to perform some incredible Russian and Hungarian classics to wonderful audiences. We thank Accenture, our Principal Sponsor and Digital Partner, and Season Partner, the University of Queensland whose support made this season possible.

Three AYO musicians – Giovanni (double bass), Annabelle (violin), and Jonathan (cello), took us behind the scenes of the program to provide a unique insight into rehearsals, performances, and more.
