National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain Announces Dani Howard as Resident Artist

29/1/2024

Dani Howard has been named by National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain as their Resident Artist for 2024. Howard’s appointment follows several commissions from the orchestra, including Jigsaw, written in 2020 and performed by 800 young musicians online during the pandemic, and Ascent, which premiered in January 2024. Over the course of 2024, NYO will perform a range of Howard’s works, including Arches. She will join the orchestra on their Spring Residency, with further projects planned for the summer.

“Dani’s commitment to empowering young people – developing their creative music-making and providing them with a voice – are shared by all of us at NYO. We’re anticipating a year that will open up ground-breaking music and inspiring ideas to many more teenage musicians and audiences.”
