The Australian Youth Orchestra (AYO) is one of the world’s most prestigious and innovative training organisations for young pre-professional musicians. The Program and Applications Guide is sent out annually to secondary & tertiary schools, universities, music schools, conservatoriums and private music teachers.

Portraits of key orchestra members appear in duotone combinations and form the central visual element in the booklet. Colour-coding the numerous programs assists navigation for prospective applicants, and the design balances youthful vigour with respectful restraint.
