Each year Adelaide Youth Orchestras (AdYO) provides world-class development programs and career pathways for South Australia’s brightest young emerging musicians. 

From primary through to university; from junior to senior ensembles and beyond, we encourage a lifelong interest in and love of music and to give musicians the opportunities to develop to their maximum potential.

Members enjoy weekly rehearsals, coaching and tutorials by leading musicians, along with other special arts activities.  All orchestras and ensembles perform in public concerts, along with schools and community concerts around Adelaide and regional areas.

We aim to have fun making music and to give members an opportunity to develop their orchestral musicianship skills and to make lifelong friends along the way! 

Since 2001, AdYO has supported almost 2,000 young emerging musicians in over 4,000 individual opportunities to engage with our orchestras.
