Percy Grainger Youth Orchestra – Music to stir the subconscious, haunt your dreams and fuel your nightmares.

The Percy Grainger Youth Orchestra explores music of fear and fantasy in a program that walks the line between the evocatively haunting and the conjuring.

19th century composers and writers drew from the rich source of horrifying folk and fairy tales to create enduring works of fiction and music of huge energy and visceral power. Bring holy water, wear garlic, or come with your favourite group of vampires. Join the Percy Grainger Youth Orchestra in a program for musical thrill seekers. Listen with your eyes closed…. if you dare.
