'BYO and Valla Voices Unite’ will be a free musical performance event at the Bellingen Memorial Hall showcasing a selection of modern and contemporary classics, with movie theme tracks ensuring engagement of all ages from our community. We are also excited to be collaborating with the very talented Valla Voices, with the BYO performing some compositions from one of Australia’s favourite choral composers and conductors ‘Paul Jarman.’ This will be Valla Voices LAST event. Valla Voices have long entertained our local community and beyond with their lustrous singing. Highlights for this talented local choir include performing at the 'Australian National Choral Festival' in Brisbane, the only regional choir invited to perform at the 'Gondwana World Choir Festival' and singing in the collective choir at the 'Sounds of Australia Concert' at the Sydney Opera House.

The Bellingen Youth Orchestra brings that ‘something special’ to the community, embracing our older audience but also understanding that for classical music to thrive it must do so in an eclectic culture, embracing the imagination and passion of the young. That is, after all, what the BYO are founded on. The listening experience we provide boosts community pride and connects us all.

The Bellingen Youth Orchestra would like to thank the Bellingen Shire Council for supporting this event and bringing it to life for our community.

Seating capacity is limited. Tickets must be presented on entry.

We wil be holding a raffle with some AWESOME prizes up for grabs donated to us from local community members and businesses. There will also be a canteen at interval. All money raised will go towards supporting our wonderful players and the many musical pathways we offer.
