Orchestras for All (OFA) is relaunching two of its core programmes for teachers and young people: the National Orchestra for All and Modulo. 

Modulo assists under-resourced teachers and music leaders to develop their own ensemble, known as a ‘Modulo’, of between four and 15 young people aged 11-18. These groups can then meet with others to create larger groups in a scheme called ‘Modulo Meets’. 

In addition to this, OFA is relaunching its non-auditioned, inclusive national youth orchestra, the National orchestra for All (NOFA). The group is open to 100 young musicians aged 11-19 who face significant barriers in their daily lives, such as mental health conditions, rural isolation, economic deproivation or physical disability.
