Nordic Poetry with the MRYO Summer 2025
The Mount Royal Youth Orchestra brings together passionate young performers for a soulful program full of contrasts, combining the Nordic poetry of Peer Gynt, the melodic intensity of Dvořák, and the radiant rhythms of “Jupiter,” from Holst’s The Planets. A concert packed with energy to share.
