The project offers talented young musicians the chance to participate in innovative performances, while developing their skills alongside professional musicians. Its free for young musicians to take part in the project
The BBC Proms Youth Ensemble is a flexible ensemble of young musicians who participate in a bespoke project each summer in preparation for a performance at the Proms. Each year we welcome old and new participants of a grade 8-plus standard to the ensemble, aged between 16 and 25, depending on the nature of each project.
The BBC Proms Youth Ensemble brings together talented young musicians from all over the UK and we work with music services and youth music organisations to reach young people who might not otherwise have the opportunity to work with professional musicians and perform at this level. |
