Composer Roger Doyle during a workshop with the Greystones Youth Orchestra and the Newpark School of Music String Orchestra

Preparations are well underway for the 16th Festival of Youth Orchestras at the National Concert Hall on Saturday 12th February. This year’s festival includes the completion of the new composition for the players of Greystones Youth Orchestra and the Newpark School of Music String Orchestra. Deep End by Roger Doyle is a tribute to the young players’ willingness to dive in at the deep end with a new piece of music. Raymond Deane’s A Baroque Session will be premiered in the evening performance by Young European Strings while Coole Music Youth Orchestra will premiere The Adventure Suite by Katharina Baker, who has written many pieces for junior orchestra and chamber ensembles.
