Sydney Youth Orchestras (SYO) provides a pathway for hundreds of young musicians from beginner to pre-professional to connect, create and champion orchestral music. Musicians are welcome to audition annually and are placed in orchestras and ensembles to best meet their stage of development as a musician. SYO provides orchestral training to musicians between 6 and 25 years, and is the largest orchestral training provider in Australia. [1]

Orchestras
The Sydney Youth Orchestra (The.SYO) is the top orchestra of the Sydney Youth Orchestras family. Largely comprising pre-professional players aged 18-25, many of Australia’s finest musicians have performed in this orchestra as they transition into the professional music industry. [2]
Since 1973, SYO has over 5,500 alumni. Many of them still take musical occupations, with some also taking business and corporate fields, including:
