Music for Youth
Classic FM is a proud sponsor of the Music For Youth Schools Proms and works with the organisation on all of the activities in its annual calendar.
Music For Youth provides free access to educational and performance opportunities for all kinds of groups of young musicians and audiences through a nationwide series of festivals and concerts.
The Music for Youth year comprises three major events: the Regional Festival Series, the National Festival and the Schools Prom. Groups enter these events at the beginning of the academic year (September) and are then invited to take part in a local Regional Festival in the Spring.
Up to 300 groups are then invited to perform at the National Festival in July. Following the National Festival, a further 30 groups are invited to appear at the Schools Prom at the Royal Albert Hall in November.

The 2010 Schools Prom concerts took place on 8, 9 and 10 November, when 3000 talented young musicians performed at the Royal Albert Hall.
Audiences were treated the three nights of high quality music making celebrating the breadth and quality of music being performed by many thousands of young people in this country today.
