About Us

Music for Youth is an educational charity with a worldwide reputation for its work in music education. It provides free access to educational and performance opportunities for all kinds of groups of young musicians and audiences through a nationwide series of festivals and concerts.

The Music for Youth year comprises three major events: the Regional Festival Series, the National Festival and the Schools Prom. Groups enter these events at the beginning of the academic year (September) and are then invited to take part in a local Regional Festival in the Spring. Up to 300 groups are then invited to perform at the National Festival in July. Following the National Festival, a further 30 groups are invited to appear at the Schools Prom at the Royal Albert Hall in November.

Details of other Music for Youth activities can be found on the events page.
