It’s a full year for the Sydney Youth Orchestras – and with the launch of their brand new group, the Western Sydney Youth Orchestra – it’s only going to get bigger.
There will be plenty to get out and see this month alone, so we’ve put together a list of events for you to rock along to – and don’t forget you’ll get a ticket discount to each of them when you join us!
