National Youth Orchestra: Ignite

National Youth Orchestra: Ignite

Presented by Saffron Hall

This event is a filming and recording session with an invited audience. This performance by the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain will be recorded for future broadcast by BBC Radio 3 and filmed.

Booking is open to Saffron Hall members and invited groups only - this event is not on sale to the general public. Due to the nature of this event, ticket holders may be asked to move seats at short notice.

Feel the heat! Get ready, The National Youth Orchestra ignites a musical fire on 16 April at Saffron Hall.

Without air there is no fire, teenage passion for music fuels the musical flames. As melodies flicker across the orchestra, they grow and envelop you with their blazing sound and searing passion.

Stravinsky’s Firebird fans the flames high. This music tells the story of the phoenix rising from the ashes, it is one of the most famous pieces of orchestral music ever written and made its composer a superstar. NYO’s teenage superstars bring their inimitable energy to ignite our imaginations.
