CONCERT REVIEW AND YOUNG MUSICIANS’ AWARD WINNERS

A big thank you to everyone who came to our Semester 2 concert, War and Peace, and to everyone who has supported the orchestra throughout the year. A special thanks as well to Professor Terence Dennis for his wonderful review of the concert.

Congratulations to our 2025 Young Musicians’ Award winners, Ben Walker (trombone) and Dan Walker (violin). Ben and Dan will perform as soloists at our 2026 concerts. We looking forward to hearing them play!

Auditions for 2026 will open on February 1st. We’d love for you to join us!
