2010 NZSO National Youth Orchestra Players List

The NZSO National Youth Orchestra is the jewel in the crown of NZSO artist development activities for New Zealand’s young orchestral musicians. 

A unique and incredible opportunity, it offers its members the chance to work with artists of international stature, as well as coaching from the Principals of the NZSO.

Since its inception in 1959, the NZSO NYO has played a vital role in providing a specialised training opportunity for the country’s most gifted young orchestral performers, many of whom have forged successful careers as orchestral players, soloists, chamber musicians and teachers.
