Hear teenage musicians from The National Youth Orchestra performing as one
10 August 2024 @ 7.30pm
Royal Albert Hall

Hear the completely unexpected, as the teenage musicians of The National Youth Orchestra unite in their love of music and passionately share what their generation wants for the world, as one.  

The Orchestra will guide you through challenges in Wagner’s epic tale, traverse despair in Mazzoli’s intriguing Orpheus Undone, before gazing towards the future with hope and optimism with Mahler’s Titan symphony. `  

Over 100 musicians from NYO’s Inspire programme join the Orchestra to perform a new work by Dani Howard. Get ready for a massive, electric surprise as the entire Royal Albert Hall is flooded with music in celebration of the 10th anniversary of NYO Inspire, our ground-breaking programme removing the barriers that many face in accessing orchestral music.

Mirroring the journey of the concert, each musician you will see on stage has faced musical and personal challenges but together they have reached deep to step forward in unison to open up the sound, the buzz and the energy of orchestral music. 

Join us and play your part in cheering on the extraordinary, as one.
