The Auckland Youth Orchestra (AYO) is New Zealand’s oldest and preeminent regional youth orchestra, celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2008 with a tour to the United States, performing in Boston, New York and Los Angeles. As a result of that tour, the orchestra was invited to the prestigious Young Euro Classics Festival 2009 in Berlin. More than 2200 young adults between the ages of 18-24 have passed through the ranks of the orchestra, having received expert training in orchestral playing. AYO is dedicated to fostering young musicians into the unit of collective instrumental and artistic expression that is a symphony orchestra.
