Book for East Rand Youth Orchestra Concerto
A national award-winning soloist will also accompany two sopranos and play a piano concerto by Saint-Saens.
The East Rand Youth Orchestra’s annual Concerto Festival takes place on June 10 and 11 under the baton of Pienaar Fourie.
The concert takes place at the EJ Butler Centre for the Arts at St Dunstan’s College at 14:30 on both days. The soloists are between nine and 17 years.
Audiences can look forward to a standard concert with works beautifully performed by a talented and experienced orchestra of young masters.
It is the same youth orchestra that recently played an Easter concert in the Catholic Church, a Summer New Year’s concert and a Christmas concert.
