Help teenagers access the power of playing music together
Young musicians are facing barriers every day preventing them from accessing the transformational power of playing orchestral music together with so many others who share their passion.
By donating today, you can help teenagers like Prince see what they are truly capable of.
When we first met Prince, he craved access to more musical opportunities. In the NYO community, Prince found a place where he could see his passion for music reflected in the faces around him. He found other bassists who shared their skills, supported his learning, and opened his eyes to what he’s truly capable of. His confidence has grown, and he’s making immense, incredible music with more musicians than he could have ever dreamed.
While state schools and local music services pour all their efforts into helping their students, their budgets have been devastatingly slashed. For thousands of teenagers, this means few – if any – opportunities to immerse themselves in playing and sharing music with others. Do discover what they are truly capable of.
Give a young musician the opportunity to soar today
Your donation will help young musicians like Prince discover that it’s not about being perfect, but about throwing themselves into the music, being guided by excellent tutors and supportive peers, and having the time of their lives.
There’s a part for everyone to play, no matter their background, where they live, or financial barriers that they face, where they’ll develop confidence, life-skills, and find a sense of belonging in a space where they are seen, heard, and valued.
Find the part you can play in making a lasting impact on the lives of these young musicians. Donate now and be part of this incredible adventure.
