Performance NotesFor three nights in November, 3,000 talented young musicians will perform for an audience of over 15,000 at the Hall. The concerts celebrate the breadth and quality of music being performed by many thousands of young people in this country today. Audiences are treated to three joyous nights of high-quality musicmaking embracing every kind of music from rock bands to near-professional orchestras.

Each concert is a showcase for the exuberance, skills and talent of gifted young performers from every corner of the UK and each reaches a triumphant climax with a spine-tingling finale of fireworks, balloons and Elgar's stirring Pomp and Circumstance March No.1 - "Land of Hope and Glory". The Royal Albert Hall Education programme partners and supports Music for Youth throughout the year.

Standing arena with stage in centre.

Inspired by Hindemith's Symphonic Metamorphosis, this concert explores the concept of change via the transformative power of music, with contemporary interpretations of traditional musical forms and cultural change.

The event ended with pyrotechnics and a balloon-drop.
