Proms Youth Ensemble 2016

As part of its ongoing commitment to nurturing new talent, the BBC Proms founded the BBC Proms Youth Ensemble in 2015. The project offers talented young musicians the chance to participate in innovative performances, while developing their skills alongside professional musicians. It’s free for young musicians to take part in the project.

In 2016 the Last Night of the Proms opened with the world premiere of Tom Harold’s Raze, performed by the BBC Youth Ensemble 2016 alongside members of the BBC Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Sakari Oramo.
