Music For Youth is hosting its largest live Prom since the pandemic on 15-16 November, where over 3000 young people will perform at the Royal Albert Hall.
The 2022 Prom will feature symphony orchestras, ensembles and choirs; young musicians will perform original songs, new commissions and covers, independently and as part of youth jazz bands and chamber groups.
Music for Youth, a charity with a mission to provide music education and opportunities for all young people in the UK, has asked those with all levels of music education and instrumentation to perform at the two-day Prom.
Phil Castang, chief executive of Music for Youth, said: ‘We are delighted to be back at the Royal Albert Hall to celebrate what has been for many young musicians a ‘comeback’ year.
‘We will be launching a new campaign championing the brilliance of young musicians and calling on the public to see young musicians playing live wherever and whenever possible; ‘Young People Make Great Music: Support the Next Generation’.’
The programme contains a performance from Youth Music Award winner Jack Pepper, and two pieces from a group of young refugee students from Ukraine who are now safely continuing their studies at the London Performing Academy of Music.
Music group leader Janice Armstrong, said: ‘This is a huge honour for our band and a tribute to the hours of practice students have put in. They have worked incredibly hard together.’
