The Main Orchestra (for ages 14-21) is our flagship ensemble, playing the best music in the wind orchestra repertoire, directed by specialist international conductors at the very top of the profession.
Join us for a week of intensive music-making, with conductor Dr Matthew George (St Thomas, Minnesota).
The NYWO is unique in the training we offer to older players: conservatoire and university students have found our courses to be essential when it comes to the repertoire we cover, the intensity of the experience, and the speed of learning.

In short, if you have a passion for music and love playing your instrument, you’ll have a fantastic time exploring new repertoire, making new friends, and developing, both musically and personally.
