Flight of Fantasy – BYWO & BYTO Concert

Our Berkshire Youth Wind Orchestra and newly formed Berkshire Youth Training Orchestra are preparing for their Spring concert titled ‘Flight of Fantasy’. This will mark BYTO’s first public performance as a newly formed orchestra, alongside BYWO who are one of our flagship orchestras in the county. They will be performing many wonderful pieces, including Flight of the Piasa, The Witch and the Saint, Aladdin, James Bond, Dr Who and many many more. There will be a joint piece where both orchestras will come together to perform, creating an orchestra of nearly 90 students.
