Annabel O’Rourke, Year 12, has applied and has been accepted for the Auckland Youth Orchestra (www.ayo.org.nz). This huge achievement is wonderful for Carmel College as a student must be of an advanced level to audition and selected members (Auckland-wide) can be anywhere from 15-25 years of age.
Their first concert series will see them playing different venues in late March. Annabel sat her Associated Board of Royal Schools Grade 8 Violin exam just before Christmas and just found out she received a High Distinction. Well done Annabel!
