Our 70th Anniversary Celebrations commenced on Saturday 12th April in the stunning surroundings of Ulster University's Belfast Campus
Over 40 Alumni, representing 7 decades, travelled from near and far to be in Belfast for this special rehearsal marking the start of our anniversary celebrations.
Under the baton of CBYO Conductor Paul McBride, the orchestra rehearsed music by Tchaikovsky, Verdi and Strauss.
Our oldest guests on the morning, who had been members of CBYO during the 1960's, shared their memories with our current crop of players, spanning the decades.
All in all everyone enjoyed a wonderful morning of music, nostalgia and friendship.
We would like to express our thanks to Ulster University for giving us the use of their beautiful Atrium for this rehearsal and for making everyone feel so welcome.
