 Members of the National Youth Orchestra (NYO) are called ‘changemakers’ to reflect their dual role as performers in the orchestra and advocates for their instruments within the wider community. In addition to providing free performances and workshops in schools, youth spaces and music hubs across the country, this year each player will lead a workshop in their local primary school.

The NYO’s CEO and creative director, Sarah Alexander OBE, said: ‘We're stepping up to the response we received from young people. They’re showing us that they want to play and share orchestral music with their generation. This is driving us forward in a climate where fewer young people than ever before have the opportunity to experience orchestral music.’
