SYO (Sydney Youth Orchestras) is the leading provider of orchestral training in New South Wales and the largest weekly training program in Australia.
We believe young people are our greatest investment.
We cannot underestimate the impact of giving our young people the artistic and developmental tools to empower them as creatives in their own right. What they achieve, how they engage, what they contribute within, and after their time with SYO, is how we measure our success.
Through SYO a musician will also foster dedication, commitment, teamwork, confidence and many other skills, which will translate into every aspect of their lives, impacting the communities from which they come.

We drive innovation and embrace the new.
Excellence is our attitude, not only an outcome.
