About the Canberra Youth Orchestra:

The Canberra Youth Orchestra is the premier youth symphony orchestra in the ACT and wide region, bringing together the region’s finest young musicians to deliver professional-quality concerts in collaboration with many of Australia’s preeminent performers.

The CYO performs a diverse range of repertoire and features world-renowned soloists and prides itself on regularly performing Australian and world premieres, partnering with contemporary composers. As well as the Llewellyn Hall concert series, other regular performances include the Canberra International Music Festival, interstate and international tours.

Performance standard: AMEB 8 or equivalent, or AMEB 7+ for woodwind and brass. Participants are expected to be taking additional individual instrumental tuition; this can be arranged with a Music for Canberra tutor if participants don’t already have a private teacher.
