Australian Youth Orchestra returns to Adelaide in 2023 for the 75^th anniversary of AYO National Music Camp! These thrilling performances will feature 220 talented young musicians selected from around the country led by internationally renowned conductors James Judd and Umberto Clerici, alongside chamber music director Elizabeth Layton and artist-in-residence Tahlia Petrosian.
