The National Youth Orchestras of Scotland: The Open Fund for Organisations

For:

The National Youth Orchestra of Scotland Piano Concerto Commission

The National Youth Orchestras of Scotland provides a complete orchestral experience for young people between the ages of 8 and 25, through a comprehensive pathway of orchestras, jazz bands, training ensembles and an ever-expanding outreach programme. We are passionate about nurturing and developing the talent of Scotland’s next generation of musicians and cultural leaders; our programme of work encompasses large-scale symphonic performances in prestigious concert halls and grass-roots
initiatives such as our four training ensembles and Jazz Summer School.

The PRS Foundation has generously supported the commissioning of a new Piano Concerto by Jay Capperauld, one of Scotland’s most promising young composers. This will have a tremendous impact on both Jay’s rapidly growing career, as well as providing a wonderful opportunity for our young players to experience giving the premiere of a major new symphonic work. The Piano Concerto will receive its premiere in Glasgow, and a subsequent performance in Perth.
