The orchestra’s ‘To The Beat’ tour will open at Birmingham’s Town Hall on the 14th April before touring the UK.
It has been announced that The National Youth Orchestra will be heading to venues across the UK this Spring to share some of the most well-known orchestral music of all time with audiences around the UK.
The programme will begin with Stravinsky’s Petrushka with shifting rhythms and harmonies dancing between each instrument.
Meanwhile, YO Inspire alumni and BBC Young Musician of the Year 2022, Jordan Ashman, joins for Jennifer Higdon’s Percussion Concerto, a fusion of rhythm and connection as well as Bernstein’s Symphonic Dances from West Side Story.
The ‘To The Beat’ tour follows on from the orchestra’s ‘Illuminate’ Winter tour, which gave 1,000 teenagers the chance to experience live orchestral music for free, alongside thousands more in the audience and was led by conductor Jaime Martín and featured a captivating program, including Ravel’s Boléro.
‘To the Beat’ will be coming to Birmingham Town Hall, London’s Roundhouse, where the concert is part of the Roundhouse Three Sixty festival, Sheffield City Hall and the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester.
