Cornwall Youth Wind Orchestra

A showcase of the students’ hard work from over the last year, directed by Sara Munns.

We are delighted to confirm that, under the inspirational direction of Sara Munns, Cornwall Youth Wind Orchestra (CYWO) return to give their end of year concert.

The players of the Cornwall Music Education Hub’s Cornwall Youth Wind Orchestra will be returning to Carnglaze Caverns for their annual Easter concert for the first time in 5 years. The young will present another exciting programme as the culmination over their hard work over the last year.

After a year’s practice these wonderful students will be on top form at this their annual end of season concert. Their musical talents must shortly take a back seat as their minds turn to exams so this is time for a celebration!

This will be a concert for all the family with music to suit most tastes. The concert goers, not just the family support, always say how much they enjoy the concert and did not realise that Cornwall had such talented musicians.

Do come and join them to enjoy what always promises to be a well polished performance and a night to remember!

CYWO was formed in September 1985. Over the years, the orchestra has performed at the Edinburgh Festival and Blackheath, London. Concert programmes have covered a wide range of symphonic band music drawn from classical, romantic and twentieth century repertoire.

Membership of the Orchestra is open to musicians aged 11-21 who live or attend school/college in Cornwall. Often students who go on to University or College out of Cornwall remain in the orchestra for another one or two years.
