Welcome to the web site of the Nottingham Youth Orchestra - one of the country's top orchestras for young people!

There are in fact three orchestras - Training, Intermediate and Youth with around 250 young people involved at all stages of musical ability. Each of the orchestras regularly gives public concerts in and around Nottingham. The Youth Orchestra is well known for the high standard of music and each summer undertakes a tour somewhere in the world!.

Our next concert - See the Concerts page for full details.

Nottingham Youth Orchestra Saturday 26th. April, 7.30pm Southwell Minster , Nottingham James Lowe will be our guest conductor for this concert.

 

Founded in 1985 the orchestras aim to encourage young people to play to the best of their ability and professional tutors lead each orchestral section. Weekly rehearsals are an important part of learning together along with an annual residential weekend which is both musically intensive as well as good fun!
