Manawatu Youth Orchestra Concert

Conductor: Isaac Henderson

Concert features Ciaran Carroll playing the final movement from Grieg's Piano Concerto in A minor.

Also included is music from the Carmen Suites by Bizet.

Ciaran writes, "I've been learning from Nick Hunter for my entire twelve years playing piano. I'm hopefully going to study piano at university. I've played trumpet for five years and clarinet for seven. I played clarinet in the Youth Orchestra two years ago. The Grieg A minor piano concerto third movement has been a real challenge to learn but it's well worth the effort, as I'm sure both myself and the orchestra know. It's an epic piece and the perfect mix of flair, expression and majesty."
