Their directors and tutors were principal musicians of the Australian Romantic and Classical Orchestra - professionals who specialise in historically informed performance on period instruments.
They are passionate about understanding musical heritage in the context in which it was created, and they are even more passionate about inspiring and enlightening others.
"It's amazing to see the growth of our Young Mannheim Symphonists, this year providing students all around the country the opportunity to be part of this unique youth orchestra program," Rachael Beesley said.
