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. But at the heart of the organisation is a very small group of people that I am proud to work alongside, whether we’re dreaming up new ideas or solving problems together: our staff and trustees are dedicated and driven, imaginative and fun. I 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.
