National Youth Orchestra

Former Member

Has anyone seen the national youth orchestra are doing a social distance concert tonight of Ode to Joy with everyone playing in the garden/ street. So if you play an instrument it might be fun to dig them out and join in. I’ve dug out my treble recorder as my sisters had already bagsed the instruments I can actually play, but it’s been fun trying to remember how to play it 😂😂

here’s the link to the page if anyone’s interested

Ive sent the link to my oldest niece and shes said she will take her violin outside and join in, she is 14 and is an amazing violinist, and considering she only started when she was 11 and has preformed a solo at the royal Albert hall is amazing, the school orchestra went to preform there, and she was chosen to do a solo. its amazing seeing community's finding ways to continue despite the current situation. i personally wont be joining in with this as ive not picked up any of my instruments in years and will probally just get noise complaints from the neighbors haha

That’s lovely Tori, and that’s amazing I used to play the violin when I was younger but I was never that good and doubt I could play it at all now lol. I’m sure our neighbours have been loving us today as we were practising.
