Coventry & Warwickshire Youth Orchestra in concert with Limerick School of Music Senior Orchestra (Ireland)
On Sunday 11th February, a very special musical collaboration will take place at Stratford Play House Theatre (Rother Street) when the Coventry & Warwickshire Youth Orchestra will join forces with the Limerick School of Music Senior Orchestra (Ireland) in concert. This is the second leg of the Limerick orchestra’s UK tour to the Worcestershire and Warwickshire areas.The concert will take place at 7:30 p.m. and tickets at only £5 are available from the theatre website www.stratfordplay.co.uk.
CWYO will be conducted by Joe Davies and the LSOM Senior Orchestra will be conducted by Anna Jane Ryan. The programme will include classical orchestral favourites such as The Academic Festival Overture by Brahms, a medley from Porgy & Bess by Gershwin and Piazzolla’s much-loved Libertango. There will also be some musical lollipops of film and popular music such as music from Pirates of the Caribbean and How to Train your Dragon, and an Irish Rock Medley with some guest LSOM classical guitarists: something for everyone!
Since its inception in 1961, the City of Coventry Youth Orchestra has steadily grown in reputation and stature both nationally and internationally. In January 2015 it was joined by members of the Warwickshire County String Orchestra to form the new and exciting Coventry & Warwickshire Youth Orchestra organisation. The primary goal of the orchestra is to enrich the lives of participating young musicians and audiences through the enjoyment of rehearsing and performing orchestral repertoire at the highest possible level.
The mission of the Limerick School of Music complements the CWYO perfectly in that LSOM strives to be a centre of excellence and an accessible resource to the community. LSOM was founded in 1962 and has expanded to become the largest provider of music tuition in the mid-west region of Ireland
