The Big Busk
The Big Busk is a peer-to-peer fundraiser with a difference! Our ensembles - Youth Orchestra, Symphonic Winds, Sinfonia, Wind Ensemble and Junior Strings and Percussion Ensemble - team up and go head-to-head to raise money for essential equipment needed to give them the best education experience possible.
Support your favourite ensemble and donate to help them achieve their goal (and win some great prizes while they're at it!).
The annual Big Busk culminates in an exciting concert, where all our ensembles play on the Bowden Village Reserve on Saturday, November 14 after battling it out for the ultimate orchestra prize: the annual Big Busk Party!
With prizes for participants, great education outcomes and a lot of fun along the way, the Big Busk is the perfect way to support youth music in SA.
To celebrate AdYO's 25th birthday, we are setting our fundraising goal of $25K in 2026! Help us get there!
The Big Busk is Australia’s only public celebration of youth and orchestral music. Your donations greatly help shape the sound of the future by supporting young musicians today.
Thank you for your support!
Hi I am Luke, and I play clarinet in the Wind Ensemble. I have been playing for almost 4 and three quarters of a year. Your donations would be much appreciated.
Enjoy the experience.
All the best with your fundraiser, Luke!
