A blog from two of the newest members of NYOI

Every year the NYOI audition panel travel across Ireland to hear hundreds of young musicians hoping for a place in the National Youth Orchestra of Ireland. Even if you have been in the orchestra before, you must re-audition. This keeps standards high and gives new musicians a chance to gain a place every year.

It's always really exciting to welcome new members to the NYOI family which has been expanding for over 40 years. This year we have been delighted to welcome 44 new members and today we hear from two violinists - Luke and Andrew - who have been talking about their experience of NYOI so far.
