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.
