The Gozo Youth Wind Band & Orchestra consists of 50 youth players while the Youth Orchestra consists of 43 musicians all from Gozo who are currently furthering their studies in their respective instruments both in Gozo and Malta. These young musicians meet and rehearse concert pieces to the enjoyment of their patrons who each year await their annual performances mainly by indoor and outdoor concerts by the Youth Wind Band while the Youth Orchestra is mainly engaged in an annual musical production organised by The Helping Hands Group around the March to April period.

A number of companies during the past years have been instrumental in supporting this initiative taken by Mro Joseph Grech of this Gozitan product. As time passes more entities and distinguished personalities recognise the fact that such a project was fruitful in providing these young musicians an opportunity to expose their talents otherwise buried within their homes.
