A dynamic orchestra of gifted musicians aged 18 to 30
Created by The Grasshopper Music Trust in response to demand from young adult musicians for an orchestra that was more vibrant, imaginative and outward-looking in presenting the classical repertoire.
We refresh the concert experience for both players and audiences, presenting great orchestral works in their wider cultural context.
The result is greater diversity - both onstage and in the audience.

“There are no other orchestras like this that mix professionals and students in this age range. Without Odyssey, I would have no regular playing opportunities at a high standard and could also not afford to participate without a bursary”.
- Odyssey Member, Aged 22
