Auckland Youth Symphonic Band

The Auckland Youth Symphonic Band (AYSB) is Auckland's only community youth concert band based in central Auckland.

Conducted by Michael Jamieson, the band aims to give young musicians (from year seven to university age) opportunities to play with other musical students from across Auckland - especially when players may not have the chance to play in musical ensembles at their schools.

The AYSB regularly performs in collaboration with the Auckland Wind Orchestra. Over the last few years they have played for the Glenbrook Vintage Railway and the NZ Yorkshire Society. They have achieved Silver awards at the New Zealand National Concert Band Festival (2019, 2021, 2023), as well as a Gold award in the NZCBA Festival (2022).

Come and join them at Avondale Library as they showcase their incredible talent in a live performance.
