At NSSO, we work hard to support players and their parents in achieving the most out of our youth musical talents. Courses are offered to children aged 8-17, of grade 3 to diploma standard and above. However, musical talent is the only real test for joining our orchestra and graded examinations are not compulsory.
NSSO is now closed for 2025. Watch out for news for 2026.
We welcome new members to join us for this exciting, challenging course, learning new repertoire, making new friends and having the time of their lives in this spectacular venue.
