Adelaide Youth Orchestras (AdYO) creates world-class opportunities for remarkable young musicians.
Come experience it for yourself.
Ambitious in practice and high-level in performance, we elevate and celebrate the next generation of talent emerging from our UNESCO City of Music.
Across six main ensembles open to ages 8–24, AdYO connects young players to a community of musical peers and respected mentors. We share creativity in common, coming together to practise, perform and progress in a spirit of joyful play.
Our repertoire is adventurous, encouraging our musicians to take risks, extend themselves and build confidence in their growing abilities and achievements.
And our live experience is exhilarating for players and audiences alike. By bringing a sense of surprise and delight to the stage, we create a powerful connection in the moment through music.
Being part of AdYO — as a musician, educator, supporter or audience member — is a chance to experience something extraordinary.
