Another two memorable concerts.

CYO and their members wish to thank the public for their continued support

Cork were treated to two magical and unforgettable nights of West End Music.

In our latest concerts, Sofia Escobar, Mike Sterling, Linzi Hateley and Cork's own Michael McCarthy  took to the stage with Cork Youth Orchestra in a musical treat of hits from a variety of West End and Broadway shows. Two sell-out shows brought a hugely appreciative audience to their feet to acclaim the hugely talented orchestra and their guest stars.

Thank you Cork for your continued support.
