Who we are
We are the raw orchestra of Melbourne. No concert halls, no tails. We play the classics with a contemporary edge.
Water Is Life
Join VYSO as we collaborate with the Brassworks Foundation to fundraise for new water wells in Uganda!
Kevin Morgan and the Brassworks Foundation, through their ‘Water is Life’ concert series, have been fundraising to support the construction of water wells in Uganda after a severe drought in October 2024. These concerts support Kevin and the foundation’s previous work donating instruments and providing free music lessons to children, as well as food and clothing.
Kevin has raised over $10,000 for the wells, and with this concert we are hoping to raise a further $2,000. Come along, enjoy some classic tunes, and support a good cause!
The ticket price for this concert is flexible. We invite you to contribute an amount that feels comfortable for you, with all profits going directly to charity. There will be an opportunity to donate during the concert as well!
