Do you love music? Try the real thing...

Aged between 12 and 16? Are you someone who makes up your own mind whether or not you like something?

We have a challenge for you. Apply to be a "Bachtrack Young Reviewer", get free tickets to a top class classical concert and we'll publish the review that you write.

How does it work?

If you're a 12-16 year old who wants to apply, click here. Just paste in the questions shown on the form together with your answers on an email and we'll find the best event to for you at a time and date you can manage.

Do I really have to do the writing?

Yes. The whole idea is for you to tell the rest of the world about what you saw and how you felt. And we do ask that you get the review done within a couple of days while the music is still fresh in your mind. But it doesn't have to be long (300 words or so is fine) and it doesn't have to sound like it was written by a pro.

Join in the programme!

If you're an orchestra, promoter, opera company, concert hall or anyone else who promotes classical music, we'd love to hear from you and get young people in your area to help you build an audience. If you're a school, we'd love you to send your students. Please get in touch!

Classical music? Really?

Don't let us tell you what you should and shouldn't like. Just check it out and tell the world what you thought. Maybe you'll love it and maybe you'll hate it. But here's a clue to what might happen: check out the list of reviews from previous young reviewers.

I dunno, I'm kind of a rock'n'roll guy...

Then try classical as well! You'll be amazed at quite how much music in movies, on TV and even in rock'n'roll and jazz is based on classical. Going to a big concert hall is quite an experience, and trust us, it beats the hell out of trying to play the music yourself!
