National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain

The NYO offers a national platform for Britain's brightest and best teenage musicians to come together to create performances that astound and inspire musicians and audience alike. A belief in the extraordinary things that young people can achieve is at the heart of everything we do. You can watch NYOhere. Have a look at the third video to see HandsFree live at the BBC Proms - a performance without instruments!

NYO has been awarded the Queen’s Medal for Music! ‘This award celebrates the overwhelmingly positive influence the NYO has had on the musical world as the standard-bearer for youth orchestras, both at home and abroad. When you conduct an orchestra its quality is always enhanced by a core of former NYO members and the boundless talent that they bring. The NYO is undoubtedly a worthy and deserving recipient of this year’s award.” Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, Master of the Queen’s Music.

Applications to be part of NYO 2014 are now open! Please register and submit your application form by midday on Monday 22nd July.
