Fourteen-year-old Sophie Arendse is about to embark on an extraordinary musical journey, but she needs the community’s support to help make it happen.
The dedicated flautist from North Gosford has received a late invitation to join the NSW Regional Youth Orchestra on its prestigious 2025 European tour and to help raise funds, a special fundraising concert will be held on Saturday, June 7, at 4pm at the New Apostolic Church, 145 Davistown Rd, Saratoga.
Sophie is currently a member of the Central Coast Youth Orchestra and studies flute at the Central Coast Conservatorium of Music.
This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will see her performing in some of Europe’s most iconic concert venues, with scheduled performances in Berlin, Leipzig, Prague and Vienna — including at the famed Musikverein Golden Hall in Vienna.
Sophie’s invitation came through on Friday, May 16, leaving her with less than six weeks to prepare and fund the tour, which begins on June 29.
The community is invited to the concert where Sophie will perform a rich program of flute music, including works by Bach, Telemann, and Gary Schocker.
The concert is free to attend, with donations warmly welcomed on the day.
