The Opera North Youth Orchestra (ONYO) is a pre-professional ensemble in the North of England for career-minded instrumentalists in sixth form and university. It serves to help dedicated young musicians transition from further or higher education into the professional world of music.

Drawing inspiration from the orchestral and opera work of Opera North, the Youth Orchestra will prepare and perform two programs of challenging repertoire each academic year. Rehearsing in the Orchestra of Opera North rehearsal studios, the Youth Orchestra will provide opportunities to learn the musical and non-musical intricacies of working within a high-level orchestra whilst further experience with orchestral and operatic repertoire.

Central to the programming of the Opera North Youth Orchestra is creating opportunity for the ensemble to work together and perform with soloists, conductors and ensembles from Opera North’s performing company. The Orchestra is led by conductor Oliver Rundell, and sections are coached by members of the orchestra of Opera North. In the 22/23 season the ONYO gave a performance of Eugene Onegin together with the Opera North Youth Company and the Chorus of Opera North. Repertoire for the 23/24 Season includes Arutunian, Brahms and Grace Williams.

Members will benefit from mentorship from the musicians and artistic team of Opera North, in addition to connecting with a variety of professional orchestral and opera conductors. The Opera North Youth Orchestra is designed to complement participants’ existing study schedule, rehearsing on selected weekends over a two month programme period twice per academic year.
