The Senior Youth Orchestra comprises over 80 young musicians drawn from schools throughout the Western Region area. The students attend individual lessons and regional rehearsals on a weekly basis, and come together regularly for full orchestral rehearsals. The repertoire covers a wide variety of styles, combining major symphonic works with popular musicals, film scores and new compositions, as well as traditional and folk music arranged for orchestra.
