When you play, it takes you away from difficulties in life
Prince, cello
You learn from each other’s ideas and learn to be generous. You learn to respect other people and how to behave in new situations.

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.

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.

NYO has given me a confidence that I never thought I could have. I feel accepted and listened to and so enjoy being part of a big bass section.

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.
