The Melbourne Youth Music Baby Proms

The Melbourne Youth Music Baby Proms Featuring the 80 member Melbourne Youth Orchestra
Conducted by Mark Shiell and compered by Nicholas Buc

  • For children 2 to 6 years - not forgetting mums and dads!
  • Loads of fun exploring the feel and sounds of the instruments of the orchestra. Interactive, colourful, and visual.
  • Great enjoyment for everyone, and even a chance to conduct the orchestra.
  • Plus surprise giveaways for every child.

    This first series of very special concerts are designed for young children aged two to six years. Members of the orchestra will present the orchestral families and sections, from strings, wind, brass to percussion and some young audience members will be invited to try their hand at conducting the orchestra. There will be lots of fun guessing the tunes, and even a chance for children to stand next to their favourite instruments on stage.

    Nicholas Buc is a young composer in demand - a talented musical arranger, former leader of Melbourne Youth Orchestra and presently music teacher at Scotch College

    About Melbourne Youth Orchestra:

    MYO is the senior performing group of Melbourne Youth Music. Each year young players are chosen from auditions to join the annual program. The weekly rehearsal, tutorials and sectionals, along with a program of public performance, offers these players a unique opportunity to gain invaluable orchestral experience, learning of repertoire and the chance to work with highly respected tutors, musicians and conductors, developing not only musically but in self confidence and self esteem. MYO has received accolades from the media, and its public performances have included both introducing new young players and soloists as well as working with respected professional musicians such as David Helfgott and Brett Dean.
