Some of my most memorable experiences in music come from playing with other musicians.
Patrick
I’ve never been part of NYO before and I had a really great time [on the Spring residency], especially meeting young musicians from around the country.
Jacqueline
— Cello
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
When you play, it takes you away from difficulties in life
Prince, cello
Music should be part of everyone’s lives, whether or not they go on to become professional performers, and NYO is the living proof.

— Southbank concert
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
I’ve had so many comments from staff and students saying how inspirational the day was and how much they enjoyed everything from the workshops to the performances.
