Next Concert: Wednesday 8th October 2025
YMSO was privileged to perform once again at the EU Delegation’s Europe Day celebrations, with this year’s event taking place on Wednesday 7th May at Smith Square Hall. The orchestra performed a fanfare, followed by the anthems of the European Union and the United Kingdom. Finally, we were joined by dancers from the Royal Ballet School for two pieces of ballet music by Léo Delibes & Meyerbeer. Thank you to the brilliant team at the EU delegation and our friends at The Royal Ballet School for their collaboration and hard work putting the event together! #EuropeDay2025
The Young Musicians Symphony Orchestra is Britain’s leading orchestra for young musicians on the threshold of their professional careers. It provides invaluable experience to those who are studying or have recently completed their training, but are not yet established in the profession.
Support the YMSO and become a Friend
Unlike many similar organisations in Europe and the USA, this orchestra does not benefit from any government subsidy. We receive no public funding of any sort and are therefore entirely dependent on the generosity of individuals, charitable foundations and corporate sponsors.

Our Influence over the years
There is not an orchestra in the British Isles that doesn’t contain alumni of the YMSO. As a testament to how influential they feel their time at YMSO was, many of them return to the orchestra to tutor at rehearsals and also advise.
