About NCYO Springboard
We're excited to announce our new county youth training orchestra, NCYO Springboard.
This new orchestra is for students who play any orchestral instrument at Grade 3+, and will run alongside our well-established senior orchestra. Our next course takes place from Monday 7th April- Thursday 10th April 2025.
NCYO Springboard offers students a unique opportunity to rehearse and perform with young musicians from across Norfolk, fostering a sense of community and shared passion for music.
This new ensemble, which has been designed to offer a new pathway into the senior Norfolk County Youth Orchestra (for Grades 6-8), will prepare students with the skills and experienced needed to be part of an advanced orchestra.
Course dates: Monday 7–Thursday 10 April 2025
Location: Eaton Vale Scout & Guide Activity Centre, and City of Norwich School
Develop your performance skills, build confidence and meet other musicians from all over Norfolk on this fun-filled residential course.
As well as lots of music-making, participants will have the chance to take part in daily activities such as yoga, a quiz, pedal karting, crafts, football, a talent show and more.
There are no auditions required to join NYCO Springboard. We welcome any student of approximately Grades 3–5, regardless of their instrument or prior orchestral experience. This is a great chance to develop your orchestral playing in a supportive and inclusive environment.
