CBSO Youth Orchestra<\/a><\/h1>\n

incorporating the Midland Youth Orchestra<\/h2>\n

\"Symphony<\/p>\n

2004 saw the launch of a new youth orchestra for the Midlands.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Founded in 1956 by CBSO General Manager Blyth Major, the Midland Youth Orchestra was for nearly half a century one of the UK\u2019s leading independent youth orchestras. Now it\u2019s joined with one of the world\u2019s great professional orchestras to become the\u00a0CBSO Youth Orchestra<\/strong>, giving young musicians from across the Midlands the chance to experience professionally-supported orchestral playing at the highest level.<\/p>\n

\"CBSOOpen to all Midlands young musicians, aged 14-21, of the necessary standard, the\u00a0CBSO Youth Orchestra<\/strong>\u00a0gives its members an unmatched opportunity to be part of an internationally famous orchestral organisation, playing challenging music in prestigious venues with top professional conductors. Intended to complement the region\u2019s existing Youth and Schools orchestras, the CBSO aims to have a youth orchestra like no other \u2013 dynamic, challenging, and filled with young players who share the CBSO\u2019s own\u00a0passion for music.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"CBSO, our programme for engaging audiences and the community: the CBSO Youth Orchestra is part of the wider CBSO family of ensembles drawing their members from across the region \u2013 including an\u00a0adult chorus<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0four youth choruses<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Youth Orchestra is run by the CBSO for young people (age14-21) of all social backgrounds from the West Midlands, and we have a policy of booking leading professional conductors and soloists for them: we only use artists who’ve already worked with the “big” CBSO. We’re immensely proud of its achievements\u00a0 and looking forward to 2012, which will include works by Berg & Bartok, Bruckner 4, the Shostakovich \/ Barshai Chamber Symphony Op.110a, Schubert Great C Monster\u00a0and a complete “Nutcracker” in concert!
