The Adelaide Youth Orchestra is an 80 member symphony orchestra designed to showcase the best young instrumentalists in Adelaide, South Australia.[1]
The youth orchestra itself comprises members aged between 14 and 25 years. Two further ensembles fall under the AdYO banner - The Adelaide Youth Sinfonia (AdSi), catering mainly for middle school aged musicians and the Adelaide Youth Strings (AYS), for string players aged 8 to 12.
AdYO performs a series of concerts during each year, including a major concert at the Adelaide Town Hall supported by all the ensembles of the Youth Orchestra organisation.
