Great Orchestra Experiment 2024
1767 city pupils
41 primary schools
3 concerts in one day!
We had an absolutely smashing Great Orchestra Experiment this year, with more students than ever taking part in our live event at the Albert Hall on 20th March 2024. We are so proud of the Robin Hood Youth Orchestra (RHYO) for leading such an inspirational performance for primary school pupils from across Nottingham City. We hope to see many of the primary pupils in RHYO in a few years time!
The children were thoroughly engaged. Loved the journey through different countries and wide variety of music covered with points for listening in a child friendly format

That was even better than playing on my X-box! I want to do more music now!
”Student participant from GOE 2019
Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed this occasion - of course from the orchestral point of view - they were of an amazing standard and there is much talent to nurture - but also because of the skill and dedication of the staff in providing this interactive music event for primary school children. To see all of these young people engaged musically with their instruments and interacting with the orchestra - and thoroughly enjoying themselves - was wonderful.
