For years, Open Up Music has worked alongside young disabled people to remove barriers, creating opportunities to learn an instrument, play in ensembles and become musicians.
Now that the orchestra has made its BBC Proms debut, we'd love your help to celebrate this incredible achievement.
Can you send the musicians a quick congratulations message? Let's show the young musicians that:
- They have people across the UK cheering them on.
- Their music is changing what people think an orchestra can be and inspiring other young disabled people.
- Together, we're building a movement for inclusive orchestras.
But this is about more than one concert. It's about creating a future where every young disabled person has the chance to build confidence, skills and community through music.
We'd love your help in making sure they know just how many people are behind them. Send a message of encouragement today and we'll share as many messages as we can with the orchestra.
Add your message today and show the National Open Youth Orchestra that people across the UK are behind them.
