Violinist enjoying music
In early 2016, five members of the orchestra auditioned and were successful in obtaining places to attend BISYOC, a music programme in the United Kingdom. BISYOC is an acronym for Bedstone International Summer Youth Orchestra. BISYOC is designed as a music programme intended to challenge participants to engage in the highest standards of music making in a symphony orchestra, with members drawn from all over Europe and, for the first time, a team from Kenya.
