I would like to congratulate the 15 young musicians from the Prahran electorate to have been accepted into the Melbourne Youth Orchestra’s ensemble program in 2024. I hope that the state government funding will be reinstated for this important program, which fosters growth in young students.
The Melbourne Youth Orchestra provides students with an avenue to explore musical potential, instils invaluable life skills such as discipline, teamwork and perseverance and promotes inclusivity and diversity by welcoming aspiring musicians from all backgrounds and all walks of life.
