joining in open days
Every year, the NYO holds free Open Days around Great Britain so young musicians who are not formal members of the orchestra can join in the action! Open Days are aimed at musicians between 10 and 17, of Grade 6 standard or above, although no exams need to have been taken.
Each NYO Open Day gives you the opportunity to be part of a large-scale symphony orchestra and participate in activities and sectionals run by our renowned tutors before a full orchestral rehearsal takes place. It’s a great primer if you’re thinking of applying to join the NYO, and great fun if you’ve never performed outside of your school before.
Details of upcoming Open Days will be posted here, so check back for updates.
NYO Open Days are sponsored by British Gas – putting energy into local initiatives to discover tomorrow’s talent.
