The European Youth Orchestra has been driven from London as a result of the UK’s decision to leave the EU. It will now be based in Rome and in the northern Italian city of Ferrara. Most sadly the future of British musicians in the orchestra are also in doubt, the orchestra website saying that ‘British musicians are still eligible to apply this autumn to join the orchestra in 2018, when Britain will still be a member’ and that ‘The arrangement for future years will depend on the details of the agreement negotiated between the EU and the UK.’
