As ever, if you are experiencing any type of financial difficulties, please contact us so we can discuss our bursaries/grants for our fees. CONGRATULATIONS! Well done to everyone who played in all the wonderful BOYM summer concerts. The Phoenix Youth Orchestra 10th Anniversary concert was especially memorable because it brought together orchestra members and supporters from throughout the PYO's history, and beyond!
