Congratulations go to the wonderful young soloists who performed in the 2026 Rand Symphony Orchestra’s Youth Concert, held at the Roodepoort Theatre on Sunday afternoon, 7 June. They very generously gave of their time, talents and passion for music, to our audience. Scroll down for more information and picturees of some of our soloists, taken as they performed.
Each one of you is a master of your instrument. You have shown us all that Beautiful Music lives on in the youth of today and will continue to bring joy to audiences for as long as your passion lasts, and is passed on to the next generation – and the next!
In order of performance, we thank the performers listed below, and their parents, families and teachers for all their support, and the work and time involved in bringing their music so beautifully to the public’s attention:
