Youth Ensemble Scheme
The Youth Ensemble Scheme (YES!) is a partnership initiative led by Newham Music, which supports school music teachers to lead high quality group music opportunities for their students, with a focus on creative, student-led music making. YES! aims to establish a workable and sustainable model for inclusion ensembles, accessible to all young people.
This year, Newham Music is inspiring students to create their own music around the theme Space Is The Place, working in partnership with Rachel Leach (Animateur, LSO), innovative contemporary string quartet Modulus Quartet, and South London carnival band Kinetika Bloco.
