Welcome from the Conductor
YOW's senior orchestra is now nearly three years old and is part of the wider Orchestras Central family which supports and develops orchestral music in the Waikato. Despite the challenges of 2020 we are delighted to be performing again at the Gallagher Academy of Performing Arts. This programme showcases our talented young people who come together to rehearse every week. The concert is their opportunity to share the result of this hard work with you. Tim Carpenter
