About Us
There is no other national organisation with the passion, power and potential to bring young people to music and music to young people like the Australian Youth Orchestra.
Australian Youth Orchestra acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the many lands on which we come together as individuals and as a community. We pay our respects to Elders, past and present, and celebrate the diversity of First Nation’s peoples. We recognise and respect their enduring connection to Country.
