Over seven days this summer, 10,000 young performers from across the country will visit the city of Birmingham as part of the National Festival of Music For Youth.

Starting with a series of Full Works Concerts from Monday 29 June to Friday 3 July , we will celebrate the country's most exciting young performers. Classic FM's Bob Jones will also be talking to the next generation of British musical talent in the Arts Daily podcast.
