The vibrant sounds of violins, flutes, cellos, trombones, and more will fill the Wairarapa Events Centre, Carterton as our young musicians from across the Wairarapa share their hard work. These talented tamariki and rangatahi are now ready to take you on an unforgettable adventure through sound.
Under the expert guidance of conductor Andrew Atkins and our dedicated tutors, the Wairarapa Youth Orchestra has been diligently preparing a diverse program that celebrates music from various continents. Prepare to be captivated by everything from the rhythmic pulse of African drums to the sweeping melodies of European symphonies, including the grandeur and pomp of Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture, and evocative folk tunes echoing the sounds of Asia. It’s a unique opportunity to experience a rich tapestry of sounds, all brought to life by the passion and talent of our local youth.
This inspiring event is more than just a performance; it’s a vital fundraiser. The Wairarapa Youth Orchestra offers free orchestral music learning to young people throughout the Wairarapa, and we rely entirely on fundraising and donations to keep this invaluable program thriving. Your attendance directly supports the continued musical education of our community’s youth.
