Join AYO in 2021

Auditions due from 27 October

The Australian Youth Orchestra (AYO) has a reputation for being one of the world’s most prestigious and innovative training organisations for young pre-professional musicians. Our training pathway has been created to nurture the musical development of Australia’s finest young instrumentalists across metropolitan and regional Australia: from the emerging, gifted, school-aged student, 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.

Each of our programs caters for Australia’s best young musicians at different stages of their development. Many participants start as young as twelve and follow the AYO training pathway from start to finish, and some come along to programs intermittently. AYO offers the flexibility to pick and choose the programs that suit you best, and we recommend that you apply for all programs you are eligible and available for. There’s plenty to choose from, including a range of both performance-based and non-instrumental programs
