Welcome to NYJO
NYJO is a large organisation that means a great deal to many people – participants and their families, musicians and educators, guest artists and promoters, venues and audiences. Everyone matters, and everyone who gets involved helps to shape who we are and where we are going, with our young people at the heart of what we do. Behind the scenes is a small group of dedicated and driven, imaginative and fun staff and trustees. We hope you enjoy this short introduction to each of us and that you can find the contact you are looking for – if you can’t, please just give us a call and we’ll be happy to help.
