SYO offers an exciting range of holiday programs during the Summer and Winter school breaks, designed for students at every stage of their musical journey. From early primary-aged students looking to pick up an instrument for the first time, right through to our experienced high school and HSC students, these programs provide an enriching environment where young musicians can learn, grow, and connect with others who share their passion for music.
Our Summer program begins in Jan 13th and runs for 5 days, with a concert at The Conservatorium of Sydney on Jan 18th 2025 to showcase the incredible learnings from the past week!
