The Galway Youth Orchestra is a youth orchestra based in Galway in the west of Ireland. First formed in 1982,[1] it is among the "longest-running orchestras in Ireland".[2] The Galway Youth Orchestra (GYO) was formed when a Cork music teacher, Maire Ní Dhuibhir, brought together players from school orchestras in Spiddal, Galway City, Loughrea, Tuam, Salerno, and the Jes.[1]

The GYO is made up of a number of sections,[3][4] including a Junior Orchestra (for musicians playing at grade 1 Associated Boards or Primary RIAM level),[citation needed] Intermediate Orchestra (for players from grade 3 or 4),[citation needed] and Senior Orchestra (grade 6 standard or higher).[5] As of 2022, it was auditioning for musicians aged between 7 and 20.[6] The GYO also has a jazz orchestra.[4]
