Dear AYO alumni –

While we’re wrapping up on a very successful 2009 AYO Tour, we’re looking ahead to our long announced 20th anniversary, and the recruitment of an AYO Alumni Orchestra for a one-off celebratory performance in August 2010. The idea is to bring in as many AYO alumni as possible.

Dates are set for one week in August 2010 (between 8 and 15 August) for rehearsals and performance of the AYO Alumni Orchestra in Hong Kong. We are at the moment finalizing some logistic details so that we can provide you the exact travel dates. Meanwhile, the draft schedule as follows:

Day 1 : AYO alumni arrive in Hong Kong
Day 2 : Rehearsals (3 sessions)
Day 3 : Rehearsals (2 sessions)
Day 4 : Rehearsals (2 sessions)
Day 5 : Rehearsals (2 sessions)
Day 6 : Rehearsal (1 session) & AYO Alumni Orchestra Concert

Program for the AYO Alumni Orchestra concert is as follows.

Copland: Fanfare for the Common Man
Elgar: Enigma Variations
Berlioz: Symphonie fantastique

This program is very significant to AYO’s history as it is the same repertoire performed in AYO’s first tour, then conducted by Lord Yehudi Menuhin. The AYO Alumni Orchestra will be conducted by AYO’s Founder and Artistic Director Richard Pontzious, as well as AYO’s Principal Conductor James Judd.

While a lot of logistical arrangements still need to be ironed out, the most important element in the success of the Alumni Orchestra concert is YOUR PARTICIPATION AND SUPPORT. Registration is now available for all AYO alumni at the following link:

http://www.asianyouthorchestra.com/index-alumni2010.html


Deadline of the registration is 15 March 2010.

So please reserve the dates and spread the news to all your AYO pals. We will try to include all alumni to the extent possible in the orchestra. If we are over subscribed, we will consider working on a rotation basis so that each AYO alumni will have a chance to perform. Wouldn't it be great to have EVERYONE here?!!! 10% of alumni would give us an orchestra of 115 players. 20% of old members would give us an orchestra of 231 players. 30% of our alumni would give us 247 players. What a FANTASTIC Berlioz Fantastique that would be!!!!!

AYO is happy to provide local hotel accommodation to all successfully applied alumni on a share room basis. Cathay Pacific is developing a special fare for all AYO alumni, family and friends. Our AYO friends will host dinners bringing everyone together. Don’t miss this chance to catch up with old friends, rekindle old flames, laugh and joke into the night with your pals, reconnect with peers and colleagues, and establish new contacts. Many AYO coaches will also be here for the reunion. You’re also welcome to bring your family, wives and kids to take advantage of Hong Kong’s summer season sale.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at ayo@asianyouthorchestra.com.

We all look forward to your homecoming to AYO’s Rehearsal Camp base here in Hong Kong.

Sincerely,
Asian Youth Orchestra Alumni Association
