Bellingen Youth Orchestra is excited to announce our first official event of 2022. Back Again, showcasing new pieces from each of our ensembles, is a wonderful opportunity to welcome to the stage all of our new and returning players, as we once again celebrate performing with a live audience.

Our flagship ensemble, the BYO, will perform Bizet’s Carmen Suite 1. An audience favourite, this work is full of ominous themes, telling a sultry tale of love and fate.

The talented young players of the BYO String School are thrilled to present Stephen Chin’s – Celtic Dreaming. A Contemporary Australian Composer, Chin’s work is filled to the brim with poignant and ravishing melodies.

Finally, BYO Sinfonia directed by Amber Davis, will present Ancient Airs and Dances 3 by Respighi. Composed in 1931, this piece based on works for Baroque guitar and lute, is arranged specifically for strings.
