Thames Youth Orchestra was founded in 2005 and is based in South West London.

TYO now has a permanent staff of professional musicians and comprises more than sixty young players drawn from numerous local schools. Its ethos is defined by a challenging, adventurous approach to programming, which combines well-established large-scale orchestral favourites with twentieth century rarities and new commissions.

TYO has featured in a BBC TV children's programme and performs annually at London's Cadogan Hall.
