NYO is celebrated as ‘the world’s greatest orchestra of teenagers’ with 160 teenagers playing epic music and shape-shifting into different ensembles.

To be awarded this role is an outstanding achievement and a real testament to Chris' talent, dedication, and all the hard work he has put in over a number of years.

Mr Tibbitts, Head of Brass, congratulated Chris: "You have such an exciting, bright future ahead of you, and I know this is just the beginning of many more wonderful opportunities to come. Enjoy every moment of this next chapter - you've earned it."

This achievement is thoroughly deserved, and we couldn't be prouder of you, Chris!
