CWYO will be conducted by Joe Davies to perform a collection of new and old pieces from CWYO and SoundLab, inspired by the city of Coventry.  

The programme will include classical orchestral favourites such as: Pirates at World’s End by Hans Zimmer, How to Train Your Dragon and concertos from Mozart and Shostakovich.

The new pieces will be from our talented young musicians including a Cinematic Rhapsody, a tribute to Ghost Town and our collaborative composition – Coventry Chaos!

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 Coventry & Warwickshire Youth Orchestra. 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.

SoundLab is a centre for creative music making in partnership with the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, Coventry Music and Coventry University.  The vision is to create space for all young people  to be creative in their music making, whilst seeking diversity in musical genre, pathway to music instruments, vocal styles and culture.  

Removing the barriers to enable all who wish engage the opportunity to do so. 

SoundLab COV is for 10-16 year olds who have range of musical interests and styles including spoken word, dance, electronic, jazz, classical and more.This concert would not have been possible without the generous support from Lions clubs from across Coventry and Warwickshire.
