The Melbourne Youth Orchestra

About

The Melbourne Youth Orchestras proudly present Melbourne Youth Big Band and Melbourne Youth Jazz Orchestra for second concert in 2026. Led by the incredible Peter Foley, students have extended their knowledge and performance skills of jazz and improvisation, and are excited to share their love for music with friends and family. Come along to support the next generation of emerging artists in the Melbourne Jazz Scene! Melbourne Youth Orchestras have brought together countless young musicians for ensemble music-making since 1967. In 2023, two brand-new jazz orchestras were added back into the mix and since then they have been going from strength to strength.
