About Us

Information regarding the orchestra can be found at:  https://fgyo.majestri.com.au/

The Fisher's Ghost Youth Orchestra (FGYO) is a not-for-profit organisation that was formed in 1987 with the aim of providing the South-West Sydney community with its own orchestra.  FGYO is comprised of a Training Orchestra and a Senior Ensemble.  These separate orchestras encompass Primary School Students through to Senior High School students. Our membership also includes some passionate university stage and adult musicians who are important mentors for the younger members.

FGYO currently performs three regular subscription concerts a year within the Macarthur region where both the Senior Ensemble and Training Orchestras perform.  Other performances include:

- Kids Cushion Concerts at Campbelltown Arts Centre & Camden Civic Centre;
- local business collective initiatives such as Christmas in Narellan;
- local government initiatives such as Live and Local Camden and the Fisher’s Ghost Parade;
- fundraising and charity events;
- local shopping centre pop up performances such as Narellan Town Centre, Oran Park Podium, Camden and Cobbitty markets;
-       local school immersive experience performances.

FGYO aims to promote the musical development of young people in the Greater South-West Sydney Region by providing opportunity to motivate and inspire students through participation in regular performances and regular school holiday workshops that are open to the public.  

The Orchestra performs a diverse repertoire - you'll find an ever-growing mix of the traditional to the progressive: classical, baroque, romantic, modern, post-modern, ballet music, film music, music from musicals, music from operas, Irish and other folk music, and even music from computer games. The Orchestra has been active in performing premiere performances of new works, including some by it's own members.

Can You Support Us?  
There are many costs associated with running a community orchestra. Increasing hall hire and insurance costs cause a financial strain and are necessarily reflected in member's fees.   If you are able to offer sponsorship to contribute towards these expenses the Orchestra would be most appreciative.  FGYO would be very happy to include advertising and or acknowledgement on our website, concert advertising and programs to any business or individual in return for assistance in this regard. Please contact us to speak to a committee member if you are in a position to offer sponsorship or make a donation.
