Movements through time Bournemouth National Open Youth Orchestra Ensemble Showcase

The Spire, Poole

This concert represents the music and the musical journey of different themes through time. It will have different types of instruments, including ones you know like the French horn and violin, and some unique instruments you might not know like the clarion.

The Bournemouth NOYO Ensemble is open to musicians aged 11-25, disabled and not disabled. This orchestra gives musicians who might not have the opportunity to perform in public the chance to break down barriers and celebrate their achievements with their music.

For those who would like, coffee, cake and snacks will be available at The Spire cafe until 3pm before you go upstairs to enjoy the concert.

Access information:

This relaxed performance is suitable for all. It is designed to welcome neurodivergent and disabled audiences, families, and anyone who may benefit from a more informal atmosphere. We maintain a flexible approach to noise, and audience members are free to come and go from the concert hall as needed. If you are attending with young children, we kindly ask that you help minimise excessive noise to avoid distracting the orchestra. There will be a quiet room that will be available for the duration of the concert you can access at any time. 

Bert, trombone says it is great opportunity to see how amazing some of the best young musicians from the area on some well-known and not so well-known instruments. We hope to see you there!

Music makes me feel like I am a part of something bigger than just myself.
