The musical history of this ensemble, composed of students from a private university founded in the 19th century, dates back to the 1920s. These young musicians are visiting the Czech Republic for the fifth time, and once again they will be performing the music of Antonín Dvořák, whose work is extremely popular in Japan. They will perform Dvořák’s Carnival Overture, Op. 92, which will open the evening with its energy and colorfulness. The program will also feature Music for Symphony Orchestra by Japanese composer Yasushi Akutagawa, which clearly reflects the influences of Dmitri Shostakovich and Sergei Prokofiev. The concert will conclude with Johannes Brahms’ Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 73, a work full of lyricism and optimism that represents one of the pinnacles of Romantic symphonic composition.

Conductor: Mr. Riku Okamoto

The Sydney Youth Orchestra (SYO) was founded in 1973 by visionary music teacher and conductor Peter Seymour. Over more than 43 years, SYO has grown into a community of 450 young musicians aged 6–24 from Sydney and the surrounding area. The SYO educates future professional musicians who go on to become part of major Australian and international orchestras. SYO alumni include Richard Tognetti, Kirsten Williams, Nigel Westlake, Shefali Pryor, Anne-Louise Comerford, Marina Marsden, Philip Arkinstall, Geoff O’Reilly, Matthew Coorey, Lyn Williams, Paul Goodchild, Owen Morris, and many others. It is no exaggeration to say that Australian professional orchestras would not exist without the professional training provided by Sydney Youth Orchestras, which transforms students into professionals. The Sydney Youth Orchestra is SYO’s flagship orchestra, featuring 85 of the most talented musicians.
