Applications to join NOYO are now open until 31 March 2025!
Is playing with a Regional NOYO Ensemble for you? If you’re interested in joining from September 2025, you can fill out the application form to apply now.
You have until 31 March 2025 to submit your application.
We welcome applications from young disabled, neurodivergent and non-disabled musicians. We play acoustic, digital and accessible instruments and there is no requirement to read music or have taken graded exams.
We also welcome disabled people with musical potential who might not yet play an instrument but control eyegaze technology or head trackers in a way that could transfer to playing the Clarion accessible instrument.
A great way to find out if NOYO is right for you is to join one of our Open Rehearsals in March 2025.
This is your chance to watch a rehearsal, meet some of the Music Leaders and musicians in your region, and ask any questions you might have.
Open Rehearsals are relaxed and will take place where we rehearse, in accessible venues.
You can read the 2025 Applicant’s Information Pack to find out more and get an idea of what being part of a Regional NOYO Ensemble is like.
Details of NOYO Open Rehearsals with availability can be found below:
Birmingham NOYO Ensemble, Birmingham Symphony Hall, B1 2EA
- Saturday 8 March 2025, 1–2 pm
Fill out the registration form to come to one of our Open Rehearsals.
If you’re not ready this year, but are thinking about applying in the future, sign up to receive our newsletter, and we’ll remind you when applications open.
