SEEKING EX MEMBERS OF BAYO/BAYWO
After 30 years, John and Diane Fuller will be retiring from Basingstoke Area Youth Orchestra and Basingstoke Area Yourh Wind Orchestra. They will be conducting their ensembles at the Anvil on 8th May where we hope to have as many ex-members of both orchestras as possible, either to join in with some of the pieces, or just to watch from the audience. There will also be an opportunity for a social ‘get-together’ in the afternoon.
BAYO was formally known as The Basingstoke Area Schools Orchestra and John took over the baton in 1994. Diane founded the Wind Orchestra since 1992, and she has conducted it ever since. The ensembles have played in some prestigious venues including the Royal Albert Hall and have taken part in The National Festival of Music For Youth and completed tours including to France, Germany, Spain and Italy . They have both dedicated so much time and effort promoting youth music in Basingstoke .
If any ex- members would like to come along to play or watch please contact difuller@btinternet.com or go to the bayo website: www.bayo-hampshire.org.uk/news
Ex players can also join the Facebook BAYO Reunited group ; https://www.facebook.com/groups/bayworeunited/
This concert starts at 6.00pm and is open to the general public and will include all the current Bayo youth ensembles. It should be a night to remember so please come and support us. Ticket prices are £17 (£14 for students) including £3 booking fee.
