Unforgettable Performance Featuring Penrith Youth Orchestra, Omega Ensemble, Richard Bonynge Ensemble.
PENRITH Youth Orchestra (PYO) will conclude its remarkable season with an extraordinary performance on Sunday, 24 November, at 3 pm, at the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre in Penrith. This highly anticipated concert brings together the acclaimed Omega Ensemble, one of the country’s most dynamic chamber music groups, with the talented young musicians of the Richard Bonynge Ensemble from the Penrith Conservatorium of Music, in a unique and inspiring collaboration.
ABOUT THE CONCERT
A Celebration of Classical and Australian Music
A highlight of the concert will be the performance of renowned Australian composer Elena Kats-Chernin’s Ornamental Air, presented in a newly arranged chamber version. Originally composed for orchestra, this reimagined arrangement is a co-commission by Omega Ensemble and Penrith Performing & Visual Arts, created specifically for this collaboration between the Omega Ensemble and Richard Bonynge Ensemble.
