Following the Australian Youth Orchestra’s sell-out 2011 Castlemaine State Festival performance and residency, it is a pleasure to welcome the AYO Wind Quintet for this exceptional concert, to be performed in the atmospheric Newstead Anglican Church.

These exuberant young wind musicians, all of whom are already very highly accomplished, have robust future careers as leaders in the Australian music industry. The Wind Quintet is part of the 2013 national touring AYO Regional Residencies program, which encourages the development of chamber music performance for selected musicians.

Folllowing this performance, a scrumptious lunch with fine local wines will be shared with the performers and fellow audience members in the historic Church hall and surrounding bush landscape. Come and ‘graze’ on some of the best food available in the region.

The concert commences with a short performance by the Goldfields Woodwind Ensemble.
