Penrith Youth Orchestra (PYO) will conclude its remarkable season with an extraordinary performance on Sunday, 24 November, at 3 pm, at the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre in Penrith. This highly anticipated concert brings together the acclaimed Omega Ensemble, one of the country’s most dynamic chamber music groups, with the talented young musicians of the Richard Bonynge Ensemble from the Penrith Conservatorium of Music, in a unique and inspiring collaboration.
