The UK’s only national youth orchestra for young musicians of all skill levels facing barriers to accessing music-making, has announced that it is now accepting nominations for aspiring young players to join its 2020-2022 Season. This special two-year season celebrates the orchestra’s 10th anniversary, performing music that reflects its unique and evolving identity.
The National Orchestra for All (NOFA), which is run by youth music charity Orchestras for All, provides an opportunity for young people (aged 11-18) experiencing barriers to music- making to join a full-scale symphony orchestra and perform in some of the UK’s most prestigious venues. Instead of auditioning for players, potential members of the orchestra are nominated and selected on the basis of commitment and dedication to music in the face of challenging circumstances. The young musicians of the orchestra get the opportunity to take part in four residential courses in major venues across the UK, rehearsing and performing with support from a team of professional orchestral tutors and highly trained pastoral staff. Furthermore, the young musicians will take part in a number of ambitious, exciting and high-profile performance opportunities in 2021-2022.
NOFA is for young musicians...
Nominations can be made by anyone not related to the young musician who can vouch for their commitment to music and the barriers they face to accessing music-making opportunities.
The deadline for applications is 12pm, Monday 2 March 2020. Full details and the application form are on our website: https://www.orchestrasforall.org/national-orchestra-for-all
