2025 Open Rehearsals

Join our Open Rehearsals in Bristol, Bournemouth, Birmingham, Cardiff or London!

Is playing with a Regional NOYO Ensemble for you? If you’re interested in joining from September 2025, a great way to find out is to join one of our Open Rehearsals in person or online in January, February and 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.

Applications for Regional NOYO Ensembles will be open from 14 February – 31 March 2025 for 11-25 year-old musicians.

We also welcome applications from young 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.
