AYO National Music Camp Concert 2

From symphonic greats to imaginative and evocative works from some of Australia’s leading composers, there’s something for everyone at the AYO National Music Camp concerts.

We’re thrilled to welcome our young musicians back to the stage this April for National Music Camp 2022, and we have a stellar lineup of guest artists joining us in Melbourne. Renowned conductors Brad Cohen and Tzelaw Chan lead our symphony orchestras, and Canberra Symphony Orchestra Concertmaster Kirsten Williams will be directing the chamber orchestra.

These professionals will work with AYO musicians to present a diverse showcase of works across two enthralling Sunday concerts. Don’t miss orchestral favourites such as Dvořák’s New World Symphony and Rachmaninov’s Symphonic Dances performed alongside contemporary Australian compositions, including Olivia Davies’ Stratus, Melody Eötvös’ The Saqqara Bird and Leah Curtis’ To Rest in Peace.

The annual gathering of young performers, composers and arts administrators at National Music Camp is one of the highlights of the year for many young Australian musicians. It’s inspiring to witness what can be achieved when these musical minds combine their energy and passion for music.
