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!
Youth Orchestra is AdYO's senior symphony orchestra. Playing professional repertoire, they don't shy away from a challenge and bring a sound beyond their years paired with an unbelievable energy!
We always want to keep listening to the music you express, Hyunjun. Mom and Dad are always here to support you!!
Well done Annabelle!!! Aunty May very proud of you!!!
Thanks AdYO for being a driving force in the promotion of music in South Australia.
We are grateful for the wonderful opportunities ADYO provides for young musicians. Thank you for your dedication and support in nurturing their musical development. We are delighted to contribute.
Love watching and supporting the Youth Orchestra, my son Daniel Hurst is one of the clarinettist and since being in the Youth Orchestra he has made many special friendships and has enjoyed every minute of it.
