World-acclaimed young Chinese conductor Perry So is making an anticipated visit to Australia this month to perform exclusively with The Australian Youth Orchestra in Melbourne.

With 103 musicians set to perform, The Australian Youth Orchestra, born in Melbourne, is one of the world's most prestigious training organisations for the nation's most talented classical musicians.

A triumphant world tour in 2010 saw The Australian Youth Orchestra receive international acclaim and standing ovations from around the globe with critics equally impressed. Highlights included performing in some of the world's most prestigious venues including London's Royal Albert Hall and the National Centre for Performing Arts in Beijing.
