Next Family Concert: Sunday 7th December 2008 3.00pm at Pacific Hills Christian School

The Northern Sydney Youth Orchestra is a non-profit community organisation. Our youth orchestras rehearse weekly at Beecroft in the north-western region of Sydney Australia and present several concerts and special performances each year. View the program for details.

The NSYO Symphony Orchestra was formed in 1983, performing its first concert at The King’s School, Parramatta. The association is now in its 25th year and currently has over one hundred talented young musicians aged from 5 to 25 years as members of the four orchestras. The Sinfonia Strings began in 1985, while the String Orchestra was formed in 1994. In mid 2001 a new woodwind and brass ensemble began rehearsals.

NSYO Conductors

 

The NSYO changed its name from the Western Youth Orchestras at the beginning of 2006. The change of name is to reflect the location and drawing area of the association. Players come mainly from the northern and north-western suburbs of Sydney, although some members travel from other parts of Sydney, as far as Warriewood, Fairfield and Richmond.

In 2007 the NSYO travelled to Vienna to participate in the International Youth & Music Festival.

We welcome approaches from young musicians to join the orchestras - why not contact us to find out how you or your students would benefit?

The orchestras are supported by an association of parents and friends. We gratefully acknowledge the support of our sponsors. The NSYO Association has an extensive music library. Inquiries are welcome.
