Successful National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain Audition

Shivani Jansari, a Lower Sixth Form student successfully auditioned as a viola player with the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain (NYO). The audition process had two rounds: the first was a submission of a video recording of her playing; the second was a full day of solo auditions, orchestral workshops and a panel interview.

Each year NYO admits 160 teenage musicians into their orchestra. The NYO are the UK's leading organisation championing orchestral music as a powerful agent for teenage development, and are celebrated internationally as 'the world's greatest orchestra for teenagers.'

Shivani will spend 40 days over the Christmas, Easter and Summer holidays rehearsing for three concert series’ where the tickets are free for teenagers.
