Young Mannheim Symphonists – Australian Romantic and Classical Orchestra

Congratulations to Samantha Millin who took part in the 2022 NSW Intensive “Young Mannheim Symphonists” program.  The program took place during the second week of the holidays from Tuesday 19 to Saturday 23 April at The Hills Grammar School.  This program was directed by the Australian Romantic and Classical Orchestra and was formed specifically to provide students with an opportunity to specialise in historically informed performances.  Samantha successfully auditioned for this program and had an opportunity to play the natural Horn, which would have been the style of instrument utitlised at the time of the Classical period.  Well done Samantha!
