Last Friday, nearly 100 musicians from all across Australia arrived in Brisbane to commence the February season of AYO. There is always a buzz of excitement in the air on the first day, the stimulation of being in a new city, seeing old AYO friends, meeting our conductor for the program and, of course, the anticipation for the first rehearsal in the evening. Our repertoire for this program is Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet: Suite, Kodály's Dances of Galánta and Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No.2.
