The National Youth Orchestra (NYO) is entering a new partnership with Young Sounds UK.

NYO members are to act as role models and mentors to young people who are part of the Young Sounds Connect programme, which helps pupils from low-income families sustain their musical learning beyond core lessons in schools, so they can keep developing their music-making.

Drawing on specialised resources and role-modelling training, NYO members will support young people on Young Sounds’ Connect programme in their regional music hub at upcoming events in Sheffield, Yorkshire and Stoke-on-Trent.

Working in partnership with the Department for Education and Arts Council England’s Music Hub network, the programme now supports nearly 1,000 young people across the country to sustain their music education.
