‘Young Symphonists has had a massive impact not only on my music-making but also on my life. It has pushed me to strive to be better in everything I do and has given me opportunities to live a healthier and more productive life.’

– Ken Noonan, violin participant

For more than 70 years, AYO has developed programs that harness the raw potential of Australia’s most talented young musicians, offering them opportunities to experience significant musical and personal development. Each year we commit to maintaining the high quality of our training programs while looking to the future – our need to innovate and constantly evolve to meet the changing needs of musicians and audiences.

This is only possible with your support. Thank you to all those individuals who donated to our 2018 end of financial year appeal. The power of your philanthropy has already strengthened AYO’s ability to nurture young musicians on their pathway to success.
