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
Being at NYO is my favourite time of year.
India
— Violin
I was very touched when one Year 7 pupil stayed behind after the lesson with a million questions about cor anglais and oboes, and seeing his face when he was told they had a school oboe he could play on.
Esme
— Oboe
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
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
I swear the temperature actually rises in the Royal Albert Hall when we play.
Ashley
— Trombone
Some of my most memorable experiences in music come from playing with other musicians.
Patrick
If we were able to inspire anyone in the audience or at the schools’ workshops to take up a musical instrument, I think that is an incredible thing.
Alice
— Violin
