The Big Busk 2026

On Saturday 19 September, SYO joins forces with youth orchestras across the country for the biggest Big Busk yet, with over 2,000 young musicians hitting the streets in five cities. 

This is our ninth year turning Sydney’s most iconic spots into open-air concert halls.

This year, you will find Sydney Youth Orchestras busking at:

• Pier Street Underpass

• Sydney Fish Markets

• First Fleet Park, Circular Quay

• Pitt Street Mall

In the weeks leading up to the big day, we’ll each be reaching out to family, friends and the community through our MyCause pages to raise donations towards our goal of $50,000.  

Every donation helps build momentum and brings us closer to funding instruments, music, and opportunities for young musicians across NSW. Support the sound of the future today!
