Sydney Youth Orchestra

Congratulations to Year 3 violinist Hana Yao and cellist Bronte Lusted who successfully auditioned to be part of Stage 1 Strings of the Sydney Youth Orchestra (SYO). The girls rehearse every Saturday morning at Santa Sabina School in Strathfield, alongside string players from all over Sydney. They will have wonderful performance opportunities throughout the year at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, the Sydney Opera House and the annual SYO Big Busk in locations around the Sydney CBD. This is an exciting new chapter in Hana and Bronte’s musical journey, and we wish them all the very best! Congratulations girls.
