Two evening concerts will bring over 2000 young musicians from across the country back together.

The Music for Youth Proms are back for a two-day musical extravaganza on 15 and 16 November. Two evening concerts will bring over 2000 young musicians from across the country back together: full-scale symphony orchestras are showcased alongside young jazz bands, chamber groups, bands and singer-songwriters from across the UK.

Performances include the Ukrainian Refugee Ensemble – a group of young refugee music students from Ukraine have travelled to the UK safely to be able to continue their studies at the London Performing Academy of Music, and together they will be performing two special contrasting pieces.

You can buy a ticket to the Music For Youth proms from the Royal Albert Hall website.
