Why some of our very own think you should see this performance!

Brook Ferguson - Principal Flute
"Peter and the Wolf is such an awesome opportunity to introduce your children to instrumental music through storytelling. And the DYAO will be performing a symphonic master work with the CSO in their annual side by side event on this very same concert. Your children will hear the music and learn about the instruments. Then they’ll see the young DYAO musicians join our ranks. It should be a very inspiring concert for young people and families alike."
