What excites me the most about being an NYO musician is the incredible energy of being surrounded by young people who share the same deep passion for music. I’m really looking forward to the Shimmer tour. I can’t wait to dive into the incredible music, especially the Debussy. It’s so inspiring to join together as an orchestra and perform across the UK.
