KZN YOUTH ORCHESTRA

KZN Youth Orchestra to hold first concert of 2010 at Roseway Waldorf School.

The KZN Youth Orchestra will hold their first concert of 2010 season on February 29 in Assagay. This is described as an “open air concert showcasing the musical talent of our youth in the structured setting of an orchestra, and promises to replace any despondency with uplifting hope.”

The orchestra recently returned from a very successful camp at Greystone and is now on the lookout for new recruits. Pupils must be grade 3 level in order to audition for the B (starter) orchestra and grade 5 in order to audition for the A orchestra. Lyk Temmingh conducts the A orchestra whilst Lindsay Johnstone and Cathy Peacock tutor and conduct the starter orchestra. Rehearsals take place at St Mary’s in Kloof on Friday afternoons from 16h00 to 18h30.
