We are delighted to announce that the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain has retained Arts Council England National Portfolio funding for the next three years. This is a welcome endorsement of our vision to open up orchestral music to the nation’s musical teenagers. We are also delighted to see increased investment in music education organisations across England, underlining the importance of the power of music to unlock the potential of young people, and giving us all the opportunity to play our part in the National Plan for Music Education. We are determined to go further, collaborating with our music education partners nationwide, to support 1000s teenagers to rise to exceptional challenges, activating their purpose, confidence and creativity.
