This autumn the BBC Concert Orchestra will be performing in Nottingham and are inviting young people from our region to help shape a unique concert. Will you send us your ideas?

About the concert

The BBC Concert Orchestra will be performing in Nottingham on 10th November 2025, to be broadcast at a later date on Radio 3. 

How young people can contribute

For the first stage of this, the BBC team are looking for ideas for:

• pieces that are important to young people
• local musicians/soloists who might be suitable to perform with the orchestra
• ways to celebrate and showcase the Nottinghamshire region 

The concert will be broadcast on national radio, and ideas must be suitable for a family audience.

Submit your ideas by completing this poll:  https://app.sli.do/event/mXu1LzBpJKrVixJQSM7ZhS

Or go to slido.com and enter code #BBCCO25

Poll deadline: Tuesday 1st April

Please include YouTube or Spotify links to suggested pieces where possible.
Once all the ideas are in, a group of young people will meet with the BBC to decide which are the best ideas to take forward.
