Play the School participant
NYO is about so much more than being in a top-level orchestra. It’s a way for us to spread music to as many people as possible, who otherwise might never experience the power and beauty of classical music.

I swear the temperature actually rises in the Royal Albert Hall when we play.
Ashley

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
To give a free place on an NYO project, that is SO kind! To be able to have the opportunity and not worry about the cost is amazing, really, just amazing.
Ellie
— Percussion
The feeling each and every audience member brings to you as you perform on stage means a lot.
Patrick
— Viola
It has helped me to take on a leadership role and have more confidence in myself.
Rebecca

Music should be part of everyone’s lives, whether or not they go on to become professional performers, and NYO is the living proof.
