Wilberforce Teen Among 43 Young Mannheim Symphonists 2023 In Brisbane

Seventeen-year-old India Culey, currently studying at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, hails from Wilberforce, but her musical skill and passion have already started taking her places.

She recently joined 42 other young Australians from across the country to attend the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra’s residential music camp as part of its popular Young Mannheim Symphonists youth orchestra program.

The six-day live-in music fest, held at St Peters Lutheran College, Indooroopilly in Brisbane, culminated in a splendid celebratory concert.

Students were joined by 14 professional specialist tutors.

The Young Mannheim Symphonists youth orchestra program gives students and emerging artists an opportunity to experience first-hand the excitement of discovering music through the lens of historical performance style (HIP).

Each year, they explore music from the Classical and Romantic periods, bringing it to life under the guidance of professional musicians experienced in historically informed performance.
