NATIONAL YOUTH ORCHESTRA SCOTLAND
The National Youth Orchestras of Scotland (NYOS) invite you to join them this spring to hear the classical music stars of tomorrow from all across Scotland performing alongside internationally renowned soloists and conductors.
Audiences will delight in the sound of a full symphony orchestra, brought to life by the energy and passion of Scotland’s outstanding young musicians.
This April, NYOS Symphony Orchestra welcomes multi-award-winning Scottish guitar virtuoso Sean Shibe, a celebrated and versatile soloist with a critically acclaimed discography who is building a reputation as one of the world’s leading guitarists.

Sean performs Lotta Wennäkoski’s guitar concerto Susurrus with NYOS Symphony Orchestra at our spring concerts in Glasgow and Edinburgh, presented as part of Royal Scottish National Orchestra’s 2022-23 season. The orchestra will also perform Mahler’s Symphony No. 7, a boundary pushing early 20th Century masterpiece.
NYOS Symphony Orchestra will be conducted by the exceptional Catherine Larsen-Maguire. Catherine has a deep insight into the life of an orchestral musician, having spent ten years as Principal Bassoonist for the Komische Opera Berlin.
She said: “I am so much looking forward to experiencing the energy and enthusiasm of the NYOS young musicians again. Mahler 7 is one of my absolute favourite pieces and working on it and performing it with this orchestra will be so exciting. The combination of NYOS, Mahler and our charismatic soloist should ensure that the concerts will be unforgettable!”
