Entry is open to all 11-19 year olds (who meet the required playing standard on an appropriate instrument) through a simple audition process.  Alternatively, you may also be invited to attend through your Brent Music Service instrument tutor if you have one.

Your ability is assessed to ensure that you are at a playing level which enables you to make the most of the benefits of the Brent Youth String Orchestra.  The audition also enables you to be appropriately placed within the string orchestra.

Something to think about ...
The importance of music in every child and young adult's life is unparalleled.  Music provides opportunities for self-expression, creativity and achievement.  By learning an instrument or learning to sing and participating in musical ensembles, is not only fun, but important life skills are developed in problem solving, teamwork, goal-setting, self-confidence and self-esteem.

The Brent Youth String Orchestra can help you make that difference and make new friends along the way!
