Ursa Barlev (Year 11) recently performed in the Dunedin Arts Festival show Beautiful is the Listening Ear, held at Errick’s. This unique collaboration between local band IVY and the Dunedin Youth Orchestra showcased an incredible fusion of contemporary and orchestral music.

As a viola player, Ursa has been a dedicated member of the DYO for the past two years. We are proud to see her sharing her talent on such a fantastic stage—well done, Ursa!
