Make content about: Evie plays with a national orchestra

Evie was nervous about what people would think of her playing. Now she performs with the National Open Youth Orchestra.

This story

Evie first started playing an accessible instrument called the Clarion while at school, before joining an ensemble in Bournemouth in 2021. Playing with the National Open Youth Orchestra has built both her musical skill and her social confidence. She now hopes to inspire more young disabled and neurodivergent children to pick up an instrument.
