The Irish Association of Youth Orchestras is delighted to return to the National Concert Hall Dublin for their annual Festival of Youth Orchestras! 

The Festival of Youth Orchestras is the annual celebration of Irish youth orchestras and their talented members with a diverse variety of music played by young people for young people. The 2025 Festival of Youth Orchestras will see 470 young players from across Ireland take to the stage of the National Concert Hall for two concerts to perform classical works and modern arrangements. The programme features iconic works such as Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker Suite and Grieg’s In the Hall of the Mountain King, music from the screen including Mission Impossible and Pirates of the Caribbean, pop anthems, original compositions by Irish composers and much more!

The Festival of Youth Orchestras is funded by The Arts Council and supported by RTÉ Supporting the Arts.
