Fingal Youth Orchestra

About FYO

The aim of the Fingal Youth Orchestra is to teach, foster a love of, and perform classical orchestral music for 8 – 19 year olds, using professional music teachers as conductors and tutors.

It draws members from all over the Fingal area and beyond! Parents are family members of the Orchestra, with a vote at meetings.

The Orchestra is a not-for-profit profit organisation, run by a voluntary committee elected each year at the AGM, with committee members drawn from current and past parents. Funding is from a combination of family subscriptions, voluntary donations, grants and awards, and direct fundraising by parents and players.

We are affiliated to the IAYO (Irish Association of Youth Orchestras), and every few years we perform as part of its “Festival of Orchestras” in the National Concert Hall.

We are registered with Charities Regulator (RCN: 20100476) and conform to the Charities Governance Code.
