National Open Youth Orchestra Open Rehearsal

,Milton Court
A group of young people in a orchestra, one boy is playing the trumpet and two girls in the background are playing the violin.

Find out what the National Open Youth Orchestra get up to at one of their monthly rehearsals.

The National Open Youth Orchestra is a world first. It offers a progressive environment where talented young disabled and non-disabled musicians rehearse and perform together, pioneering a more inclusive orchestra model for the 21st century. This year, members are preparing for their debut London concert, which will bring together musicians from across the three NOYO centres in Bournemouth, Bristol and London.

Join them as they open their doors for this open rehearsal, where you'll find an unusual make up of acoustic and electronic instruments creating a brilliant sound: from violins and a harp, to synths, electric guitar, percussion and brass. They will explore the Beethoven-inspired repertoire they are rehearsing for their concerts later this year, taking place on 26 April in St George's Bristol and 9 May at the Milton Court in London.
