The National Youth Orchestra is coming to Snape Maltings, and we want to meet YOU!

If you are a local musician aged 12-18 (Year 7+) and play an orchestral instrument at Grade 4 level or above, come and join this NYO Open Side by Side. Sitting alongside musicians from NYO, youโ€™ll explore exciting repertoire with conductor, Holly Mathieson and experience the thrill of live music, playing in an orchestra made entirely of like-minded teenagers.

This activity is completely free. Musicians aged 12-18, playing at a Grade 4+ level are welcome to join us. You donโ€™t need to have taken any formal exams!

At the end of the rehearsal, there will be a free sharing performance for friends and family, to show what you have learned and achieved through the session.
