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.

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.

When I’m inside the music and playing with others I feel a kind of relief from everything going on.

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.
