MUSIC FOR YOUTH PROMS
Showcasing the brilliance of young musicians from across the UK.
Every November, the Music for Youth Proms showcases the brilliance of young musicians from across the whole UK. Known for its electric atmosphere and diverse musical performances, each night, over 1000 amazing young musicians perform on the iconic Royal Albert Hall stage in ensembles, bands, and choirs large and small. From orchestral classics to traditional folk and roots and from big band jazz to big sound rock and pop, there’s something for everyone!
