Go Beyond this summer

Join The National Youth Orchestra for an unforgettable musical adventure through space and time.

From launching into space at the sold-out BBC Proms to performing to thousands of school students in the southwest – this summer, we’re going Beyond. And you can join us on this voyage. 

Feel the force as 160 teenage musicians bring the most epic music from theStar Wars soundtrack to life, before lifting off into the cosmos with Caroline Shaw’s The Observatory and travelling through the solar system with Holst’s The Planets.

Don’t miss this cosmic journey. Join us at: 

6 August Birmingham Symphony Hall

8 August Snape Maltings Concert Hall 

9 August BBC Proms, Royal Albert Hall, London (advanced tickets sold out) 

10 August Relaxed Prom, Royal Albert Hall, London* 

Dalia Stasevska, conductor

Tess Jackson, conductor*  

Advanced tickets for the 9 August BBC Prom are sold out, but 1,000 Day Promming tickets will be released on the day for those who missed out, with the performance also broadcast on BBC Two and available on BBC iPlayer. There are still tickets left for our first Relaxed Prom on 10 August. 

Tickets for Snape Maltings and Birmingham are Free for Teens. 

To celebrate a year of music educators going beyond for young musicians, we’re expanding the Free for Teens ticket offer to provide free tickets for any music educator who wants to attend the Birmingham concert. If you’re a music educator and would like to receive a free ticket code, please email us at hello@nyo.org.uk

What I really love about NYO is the energy and excitement which you won’t find in any other orchestra. It has been a wonderful year, I’ve had so many amazing opportunities. The shared experience we have as young people all playing together is special. The way we connect with each other and with audiences through music is so powerful. I’m really excited to act as a role model on the schools tour and give 110% on the Beyond concert tour, playing music I really love.

Beyond begins way before the concert tour…. 

In July, the NYO Inspire Orchestra will arrive in Devon and Cornwall for the NYO Inspire Orchestra Schools Tour. They will inspire thousands of school students across the southwest with epic orchestral music from Star Wars film scores to traditional Devon folk tunes. Throughout the summer, musicians will also act as role models in their communities, organising and leading creative music workshops in local primary schools.
