The orchestra will represent Ireland at the European Festival Of Youth Orchestras in Italy and will perform in open air concerts in Florence, Perugia, and Montecatini from July 6 to July 9.

In 2002, the orchestra travelled to Florence for the festival where they featured Shaun Davey’s ‘The Brendan Voyage’, with soloist Flaithri Neff on the uileann pipes.
