Join us in 2025!

At Newcastle Youth Orchestra we've assembled a team of music professionals dedicated to nurturing young musical talent, providing fabulous experiences and fostering a lifelong love of orchestral music.

 

Our two ensembles provide progressive pathways for young musicians, offering supportive environments where players can develop their skills and experience the joy of creating orchestral music together. NYO is an inclusive organisation, the descriptions below are intended to be a guide that will help new players decide which orchestra to start off with. Once you start coming you will get to see both ensembles and, with expert guidance from our conductors, you will find the right ensemble for you. New players should record a short 1 minute video and submit a link to that when enrolling.

Contact Andrew@nyo.com.au for more information.

Newcastle Youth Sinfonia

The NYS welcomes young musicians usually from age 12 up to 18 at an early stage of their orchestral ensemble journey.

 

Designed primarily for players starting at AMEB Grade 3-4 level or equivalent, this ensemble provides a supportive and engaging environment where students develop essential ensemble skills, musical confidence, and friendships.

 

Under expert guidance, members experience the excitement of orchestral performance while building a strong foundation in teamwork and music-making.

Newcastle Youth Orchestra

Our flagship ensemble, the NYO, brings together accomplished young musicians generally aged 16-25 who are performing at or above AMEB Grade 5-6 level (or equivalent).

 

NYO offers an enriching platform for talented players to tackle more challenging repertoire, refine their orchestral skills, and perform at a higher artistic level. Members experience a depth of orchestral music-making while connecting with equally passionate peers.

 

This ensemble provides an ideal stepping stone for those considering further musical studies or who just love orchestral performance in their lives.
