The Australian Youth Orchestra in Concert

Presenter:

The Australian Youth Orchestra

Description:

The Australian Youth Orchestra returns to Canberra to captivate its audience with powerful and popular orchestral repertoire from the 19th and 20th centuries, including Shostakovich’s acclaimed Symphony No.5, Bernstein’s richly orchestrated West Side Story: Symphonic Dances, and Dukas’ symphonic poem The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.

Twenty-eight year old British conductor, Alexander Shelley, will make his debut with the orchestra this season. Shelley is rapidly establishing himself as one of the most creative musical talents of his generation. The Australian Youth Orchestra is recognized as one of Australia 's finest orchestras; its 2008 performances were testament to this, described as being “ irrepressibly spirited” and “truly gorgeous” (The Australian, 2008).
