Hi there, is there anyone on here who has kids who are string players who have played in the National Youth String Orchestra? Ds is 16 and a half and plays viola and violin and it's been suggested by his head of junior conservatoire that he auditions for this. Weee in the South East and the residential at Easter and Summer are at a school in near Peterborough which is a 2+ hour drive from us. That's all fine but ds is Autistic and does struggle being away from home. Just wondered if anyone has any experiences of them.
Thank you
