MUSIC
Calvia, 12.00 The Rotarian Youth Orchestra of Majorca at Agora International Schools Portals. Tickets 10 euros.
Recently the Rotary clubs of Majorca decided to form the Rotary Youth Orchestra. The objective was to give young musicians, throughout the island, the opportunity to play a full symphonic orchestra which had been created specifically for them. The plan went ahead, and with the collaboration of the Conservatory and the many music schools of Majorca, this dedicated group of youngsters came together.
Currently the orchestra has some seventy young members aged between 10 and 20 years. They are enormously enthusiastic about their endeavour. Practicing hard since they began in January last year, they held their first concert only four months later in Manacor. Since then they have performed concerts in Palma, Andratx, Inca, Alcudia and Muro. See What’s On for information.
