Angullong partners with Sydney Youth Orchestra

Orange’s Angullong Wines is pleased to announce its exciting new ‘Community Engagement Partnership’ with the Sydney Youth Orchestra.

For close to 50 years, the Sydney Youth Orchestra has been a vital component of the cultural life in Australia by training thousands of talented young musicians and inspiring them to pursue their musical dreams and take their place in orchestras throughout Australia and the world.

The annual program has grown to encompass 14 orchestras, with over 550 young musicians aged 6-24 years.

“It is this support of our musical youth that inspired us to partner with the SYO,” said Angullong’s Brand Manager Heidi Crossing, who has spent the majority of her working career as a primary school teacher specialising in music education.

“We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to combine our love of winemaking with our love of the arts.”

Chief Executive Officer of the Sydney Youth Orchestra, Mia Patoulios said the community engagement partnerships allow the youth orchestra to showcase the exceptional products produced in regional areas and celebrate the talented musicians living and learning in the regions.

“We look forward to starting this rewarding partnership with Angullong, a company that shares SYO’s vision of nurturing talent, providing opportunity, and developing the best possible education to achieve excellence in young musicians.”

The partnership will see a range of initiatives over the coming years as Angullong take on the role of wine supplier.

 “We are looking forward to working with the SYO, especially the prospect of showcasing our wines to their audiences and the opportunity to bring the Orchestra to Orange,” said Heidi.

"There will also be a number of initiatives to build on this partnership, especially with our Bluestone Wine Club members.”
