Imagine hearing your music played by the Australian Youth Orchestra, Adelaide Youth Orchestras, Queensland Youth Orchestras or the Sydney Youth Orchestras and broadcast at venues around Australia!

If you are a budding composer or musician, then the Fanfare Competition is an exciting opportunity for you. Mentoring support is provided through the composition of your piece.

Congratulations to the talented young composers whose compositions can be heard at Adelaide Festival Centre in 2022!

Hearing my Fanfare played by the AYO (Adelaide Youth Orchestra) is just incredible. A dream come true hearing a live orchestra play my piece.
