Afghan Youth Orchestra

This March, The Stoller Hall welcomes refugee orchestra The Afghan Youth Orchestra on their first tour to Manchester.

The Stoller Hall is delighted to welcome the Afghan Youth Orchestra as they help to keep alive the future of Afghanistan’s rich musical tradition in a concert featuring traditional Afghan music, as well as works from the Indian and Western classical music repertoires.

The Afghan Youth Orchestra were part of 272 students who were airlifted out of the country to Portugal, where they have been granted asylum.

The orchestra is made up of members of Afghanistan’s first and only music school, which gave Afghan boys and girls the rare opportunity to learn side by side, and to study both Western and Afghan music. Ensembles from the school, including the Afghan Youth Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra and Zohra, have been on many international tours, sharing the unique musical traditions of their homeland with audiences around the globe.
