Rising Stars

The Bellingen Youth Orchestra returns with a vibrant program that celebrates the power and joy of music across styles and generations. Audiences will be treated to a dazzling performance of a 2025 Eurovision favourite by  Teale Kelly Wright. Teale has joined the BYO in the past and already has a series of accolades to his name.  Just recently he performed at the Sydney Opera House as part of the NSW Schools Choral Festival.  He was one of four soloists chosen from NSW. Audiences will also be able to see outstanding soloist Holly McGuiggan play Strauss’s Horn Concerto. The orchestra will also bring to life the timeless beauty of Schunert’s Unfinished Symphony, before finishing of a high with the unforgettable swing and spirit of jazz legend Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong. From classic masterpieces to contemporary showstoppers, this is a concert full of colour, energy and inspiration-perfect for music lovers of all ages. Finally, we are delighted that Sinfonia will be playing one of their favourites Borodin. A concert not to be missed!
