The Adelaide Youth Orchestra is a small organisation that achieves big things, thanks to the generous support we receive from the wider community.
In addition to presenting concerts in Adelaide, during 2009 members of AdYO undertook their first regional tour. Our young players gave impressive performances to audiences in Noarlunga, Renmark and Tanunda helping to fulfil our ambition of exposing the orchestra to people outside metropolitan Adelaide. The Adelaide Youth Sinfonia gave their first ever performances of Babies Proms for disadvantaged families living in western suburbs, while a first for the Adelaide Youth Strings was a community concert to thank more than 300 people who are volunteers for other organisations.
Buoyed by our 2009 artistic successes, this year we are programming concerts with leading Australian and international soloists and are commissioning new works from the crème of Australia’s emerging composers.
As well as attending weekly rehearsals led by members of the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra and the Elder Conservatorium, our young musicians receive individual and group tuition from prominent members of Adelaide’s musical community. While only some will go on to become professional musicians, all gain lifelong benefits from the experience of being a member of the Adelaide Youth Orchestra.

Farewelling & welcoming Adelaide Youth Orchestra’s Chair
Ian Carrig, who has chaired the Adelaide Youth Orchestra since its establishment, retired as chair at the board meeting on Tuesday 16 March 2010. The board unanimously elected Rosie Burn as the new chair.
Founded in 2001, Adelaide Youth Orchestra has become a key player in South Australia’s youth arts and music education arenas. Ian has played an integral role in the organisation’s growth, leading the establishment of its three orchestras, attracting corporate and business support and growing the community’s awareness and engagement with the orchestras.
Announcing his decision to retire, Ian said he has gained tremendous satisfaction in his role as Chair. “I have been encouraged to see the orchestra go from strength to strength, and last year’s regional tour was a defining moment in relation to the maturity of the organisation.”
“The Adelaide Youth Orchestra has reached a point where I feel it is time to hand over the reigns.”
The Board of Adelaide Youth Orchestra sincerely acknowledged all that Ian has contributed and has requested that he continue to provide support and stewardship as a board member.
Incoming chair Rosie Burn joined the Adelaide Youth Orchestra board in May 2009, bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience as a marketing and communications specialist. She presently works for Medicare Australia and has previously been employed by the City of Onkaparinga, Women’s & Children’s Hospital Foundation and the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra.
“It is a rare treat to be involved with an arts organisation – particularly a small and relatively young one – that has energy and drive and is operating on such a solid footing” remarked Rosie, “These things don’t happen by accident and only come from strong and committed leadership. I look forward to ensuring that AdYO continues to flourish as it has under Ian’s watch.”
