Conductors will include John Wilson, Simone Young and Vasily Petrenko.

The National Children's Orchestra is Great Britain’s premier symphony orchestra for children, offering children a life-changing experience with training from top professional musicians.

Jo said: “It is a wonderful opportunity to meet and play with other musicians, work with inspiring professionals, wonderful conductors and guest artists.”
