The Australian Youth Orchestra is one of the world’s most prestigious and innovative training organisations for young musicians. Its specialised training pathway has been created to nurture the musical development of the most gifted young instrumentalists across metropolitan and regional Australia, from exceptional school-aged musicians to emerging young practitioners to those on the verge of a professional career.
AYO presents tailored training and performance programs each year for aspiring musicians, composers, arts administrators, and music journalists aged 12 to 30 to help them achieve their goals.
Each program caters to Australia’s finest young musicians at varying stages of their creative and professional development. Many participants start as young as 12 and follow the AYO training pathway from start to finish, while others select individual programs that complement their study schedule and stages of development.
AYO offers the flexibility to pick and choose the programs that suit you best, and encourages you to apply for all eligible and available programs. Programs vary to suit your needs, ranging from performance-based to non-instrumental.
