National Open Youth Orchestra: Ring Out!

Experience the emotionally charged performances of one of the most exciting youth orchestras in the world.

Fifteen brilliant young disabled and non-disabled musicians invite you into a musical universe without barriers, performing beautiful new pieces commissioned for the orchestra’s thrilling mix of acoustic and electronic instruments, including the Clarion.

Discover the world premieres of piano concerto Ring Out! by British Composer award-winner Liam Taylor-West, and Fragile by Yfat Soul Zisso, on the theme of the environment, chosen by the musicians themselves. Hear their bold take on Meredith Monk’s energetic, minimalist Parlour Games and the musicians' creativity showcased in the joyful interpretation of the jazz funk tones of Lucky Chops’ Behroozi.

This relaxed performance is suitable for all, including neurodivergent and disabled audiences, and families.
