The Kevinwood Orchestra of Eastwood, Australia 

was formed as a Youth Orchestra in Workshop style at the 1976 Festival of St Cecilia.

In 1985, the International Youth Year, Kevinwood raised funds amounting to $30,000 to take part in the International Youth Music Festival held in July in Zurich, Switzerland.
