The Northern Rivers Youth Orchestra (NRYO) is making a callout for all young musicians in Lismore and the Northern Rivers to not miss the opportunity to join the Northern Rivers Youth Orchestra this July.

Hosted by the esteemed Northern Rivers Conservatorium, the orchestra brings together talented young musicians from all over the region for a three-day-long intensive program of rehearsals, workshops, and performances.

Led by inspiring conductors along with mentors from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music Buddy program, you'll have the chance to work with some of the best music educators in the country and learn from their wealth of experience.

As a member of the NRYO, you'll be honing your skills, collaborating with other talented musicians, and getting to perform at the Whitebrook Theatre in a public grand finale concert! You'll also make new friends and be part of a supportive and inspiring community of young musicians who share your passion for music.

Northern Rivers Youth Orchestra participants can expect to learn a wide range of music from the high-energy to the sublime, sourced from blockbuster movies, iconic bands and famous classical works, featuring many well-known composers, both contemporary and historical.

‘Speaking as someone who has done it every year since 2012, it is such an incredibly fun, rewarding and motivating experience… alumni from NRYO have gone on to be world-class soloists and ensemble performers’, says Tilly Jones, local performer/composer and Northern Rivers Conservatorium librarian.

The Northern Rivers Youth Orchestra is comprised of full orchestras, concert bands, and string ensembles. The cost for seniors (AMEB 4+) is $195, and for juniors (AMEB 1–3), it is $175. An early bird discount of $20 applies until June 13th.

You can apply now for the NRYO and join the team for an unforgettable three days of music-making, learning and inspiration.

The Northern Rivers Youth Orchestra will be held 8–10 July 2025.
