Sir James Galway OBE

"As a founding member of the Ulster Youth Orchestra, I am so proud to see how far they have gone. What a great ambassador this Orchestra is for Northern Ireland.”

Barry Douglas CBE

"I applaud the work of the Ulster Youth Orchestra in giving invaluable opportunities to our young talented artists and encouraging them to play beautifully. The collaborations with the fine conductors the UYO invite is also a huge asset- well done, UYO.”

Michael McHale

"From my first experience as a 14-year-old cellist performing The Planets alongside the Ulster Orchestra in 1997, to performing as piano soloist on a tour of Germany in 2008, the Ulster Youth Orchestra has given me some of my most formative and memorable musical experiences - I am so proud of the success of this wonderful institution that continues to support and inspire generations of talented young musicians."
