Sponsorship

National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain

For almost 70 years, the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain (NYO) has helped Britain’s most committed teenage musicians achieve brilliance in orchestral performance. Through NYO Inspire, NYO now has a bold vision to extend this opportunity to promising teenage musicians nationwide who lack opportunities to progress.

ABRSM has joined forces with NYO as the Major Sponsor of NYO Inspire. Why? Because we are both committed to providing opportunities for dedicated teenage musicians.

National Youth Choirs of Great Britain

The National Youth Choirs of Great Britain (NYCGB) comprises five constituent choirs for young people from primary school age to those leaving University.

ABRSM is one of the two principal supporters of the NYCGB Fellowship Programme, which provides a professional training platform for outstanding young choral musicians to help develop skills in performance, teaching and leadership.

National Youth Jazz Orchestra

ABRSM has partnered with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra to help open up jazz to young people across the UK.

We share the belief that jazz is a musically rich medium through which creativity and communication can be explored and that it should be accessible to as many school-aged children as possible.

International Sponsorship Fund

The International Sponsorship Fund was established as part of our ongoing commitment to inspire musical achievement and support music education for everyone.

The fund is open to organisations outside the UK and Ireland that provide musical training, performance opportunities and teacher development, particularly where there are barriers to accessing these opportunities.

Sing Up

Sing Up makes transformative change happen in schools through the power of singing.

We sponsor Sing Up because we believe in the value of singing as an integral part of musicianship. Our partnership focuses on the development of resources to support classroom, instrumental and singing teachers gain confidence to use singing in their lessons.

Music Mark

Music Mark supports music hubs, music services and schools to provide high-quality music training for all children and young people.

We are working with Music Mark to advocate for the benefits of music and to increase engagement from all those who can positively influence the learning process, in particular teachers, head teachers and parents. Together, we developed the Learn Music London guide to provide parents in London with pathways to help their children learn music, in partnership with the Greater London Authority.

RPS

The Royal Philharmonic Society supports and works creatively with talented young performers and composers, It champions excellence and encourages audiences to listen to and talk about great music.

In the past, we have sponsored their Learning and Participation Award which shines a spotlight on a project, initiative or organisation that inspires wider participation in music-making and which creates high-quality musical experience and understanding.

This year’s partnership will see us working together to support musical leadership and skills development. Watch this space to find out more!
