Sydney Youth Orchestras acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the traditional custodians of the unceded land on which we perform today, and their connections to land, water and community.
We pay our respect to Elders past and present, the original storytellers of these lands where we learn and create music
today. We extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and honour their continuation of the oldest music practice in the world.
Always Was, Always Will Be.
