Being at NYO is my favourite time of year.
India
— Violin
NYO Inspire helped me to believe in myself and remember that while I may not have had the same opportunities, I have just as much right to be there as anyone else
Ellie, cello
From the second you arrive, you feel as though you’re joining a musical family, as it’s such a safe and encouraging environment
NYO Inspire musician
the experience of NYO over the past three years has been life changing for me. I always come back energised from any NYO course, with a renewed sense of purpose and self confidence.
Robert
— Horn
Music should be part of everyone’s lives, whether or not they go on to become professional performers, and NYO is the living proof.

— Southbank concert
The students absolutely loved it and I’ve already seen an uptake in orchestral instruments since the session – five new violin players! This has been a massive inspiration for both the children and myself and has ignited the spark in the music department here.
Ryan Wainwright-Meekins
— Head of Music, Edwinstree CofE Middle School
I’ve had so many comments from staff and students saying how inspirational the day was and how much they enjoyed everything from the workshops to the performances.
Daniel Corrigan
— Head of Music, Radclyffe School
I swear the temperature actually rises in the Royal Albert Hall when we play.
