Concert by the Australian Youth Orchestra as part of the Musica Orbis Concert Series
The Sydney Youth Orchestra (SYO) was founded in 1973 by visionary music teacher and conductor Peter Seymour. Over more than 43 years, SYO has grown into a community of 450 young musicians aged 6–24 from Sydney and the surrounding area. The SYO educates future professional musicians who go on to become part of major Australian and international orchestras. SYO alumni include Richard Tognetti, Kirsten Williams, Nigel Westlake, Shefali Pryor, Anne-Louise Comerford, Marina Marsden, Philip Arkinstall, Geoff O’Reilly, Matthew Coorey, Lyn Williams, Paul Goodchild, Owen Morris, and many others. It is no exaggeration to say that Australian professional orchestras would not exist without the professional training provided by Sydney Youth Orchestras, which transforms students into professionals. The Sydney Youth Orchestra is SYO’s flagship orchestra, featuring 85 of the most talented musicians.
