This will introduce our musicians to a new orchestral setting, with more opportunities for solo playing, and a more intimate, conversational style of music-making. NYOS Symphony Orchestra renews its partnership with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and will feature as part of the RSNO season in spring before its summer tour.

 

Once again, NYOS is joined by fantastic soloists and internationally renowned conductors.

These include award-winning saxophonist Jess Gillam, who has built an international performance, recording and broadcasting career after becoming the first saxophone player to reach the BBC Young Musician Final in 2016.
