PYO Perform in Perth 13 March 2023 / Music Camp Reminder

PYO Performance - Perform in Perth Music Festival, Monday 13 March 2023, Perth Concert Hall  
 
Music Camp Reminder 
 
Once again, Perth Youth Orchestra will be presenting the final performance in the Orchestra & Bands evening at the above music festival. I am really looking forward to letting the audience hear the great work they have been doing since the ChildLine concert. 
 
Unless pupils are involved in ensembles earlier on the Monday evening, I would ask all PYO members to arrive at Perth Concert Hall for 8.45pm at the latest.  
   
PYO brass and wind players (if not involved in earlier ensembles) should make their way to the Norrie-Miller room to warm up.    
  
PYO string players (if not involved in earlier ensembles) should make their way to an unallocated area in the auditorium to await to be called on stage.    
  
The audience will be seated in the upper stalls.  There will be allocated seating in the Gannochy Auditorium for the ensembles and pupils should not move to other areas.  PYO musicians who are not involved in earlier groups should remain in the unallocated areas of the lower stalls.  
   
As intimated at the start of this email, I am very much looking forward to this performance of Perth Youth Orchestra at Perform in Perth 2023.  The amount of hard work the orchestra has carried out has resulted in an incredible standard of playing.  The improvement in the quality of performance and the orchestra’s stature since the first rehearsal in October is astonishing!   
  
On the back of this achievement, it would be fantastic if we had all the orchestra in attendance at the forthcoming proposed Music Camp. You will have received details of how to apply for this and I would urge you, if possible, to register your child for what is always a fantastic course for our young musicians.  
  
Pupils wishing to attend the course are asked to complete an online application form via the following link https://kwiksurveys.com/s/qjTyqgrY    
  
Many thanks for your continued support

Kind Regards
Allan Young
Music Co-ordinator
