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.

Some of my most memorable experiences in music come from playing with other musicians.

The National Youth Orchestra desperately needs financial support and backing if it is to continue its trailblazing work.

Nothing means more than someone you know being there [in the audience] and performing locally gives that opportunity for friends especially to have a glimpse at the world that is NYO.

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
Being at NYO is my favourite time of year.

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.

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.
