Encouraging Talent

Encouraging Talent

This section of the website celebrates Youth Music's committment to encouraging and nurturing musical talent in children and young people.


National Youth Music Organisations (NYMOs)

These organisations bring talented young musicians together, on a national level, for inspirational training and advanced ensemble performance opportunities. They include national orchestras, choirs and bands across a range of genres. Whilst supporting first access to music making for many children and young people, Youth Music also encourages them to progress in their music making. The pinnacle of this progression for many is participation in NYMO activity.
Meet some of the NYMOs Musical Directors and talented young musicians.
