Since 2009 the Free State Youth Orchestra is managed by the FSSO. Auditions for the orchestra are held at the beginning of each year, but ad hoc auditions can also be arranged with management during the year. The best young instrumentalists in the province from all backgrounds have the unique opportunity to gain invaluable professional experience by playing in the orchestra. Different guest conductors are invited for each concert. The different instrument-groups are privileged to be trained by members of the Odeion String and other leading experts.
The first concert of 2010 will be on Thursday 25 March.

David Nkosi wil conduct the FS Youth Orchestra in a programme consisting of Beethoven's Symphony No. 2, themes from Fiddler on the Roof and The Fiddlers by the Finnish composer Rautavaara.
