The Orchestra of 2027 applications are now open!

Join the Orchestra of 2027 and play your part in the greatest musical adventure of your life!

This is your chance to reach new heights, discover new skills, and make an impact as a musician, mentor and motivator. You’ll conquer epic music, explore new ideas and gain confidence with world-class coaching and support. You’ll perform for and alongside people your age across the UK in concert halls, schools and surprising places and spaces.

Join a nationwide community of musicians who are just as passionate as you about orchestral music. Experience every second of this musical adventure with them by your side.

Musicians will usually be playing at a level equivalent to Grade 8 or above, but with no need for graded exams.

It’s completely free to apply and audition for the Orchestra, with travel and accommodation bursaries available for those who need them.

Applications close on 17 May.

Are you ready for the greatest musical adventure of your life?

What excites me the most is the chance to play music for young people, by young people. We are given a voice, and an opportunity to be role models, something that goes beyond our playing.”
