About
Founded in 1983, the National Youth Choir is NYCGB's flagship ensemble and recognised as one of the greatest youth choirs in the world. From 2018, NYC members re-audition annually for the chance to participate in a unique Annual Programme of training and performance projects.
Entry to the junior choirs, training choirs and National Youth Choir is by audition. Around 600 people aged 9–22 attend auditions which take place in venues across Britain in November each year. Usually, around half of those auditioning are offered places.
The National Youth Chamber Choir is formed of eight core members aged 22-25 selected by open audition for a Fellowship Programme. Forming a mixed-voice octet, they take part in a year-long programme of performance and supporting project work to develop skills, including choral leadership and profile development. Each Fellowship member is given £4k. Further members of the Chamber Choir are selected by audition from within the National Youth Choir to take part in performances.
NYCGB have collaborated with a wide range of musicians, been involved in various recordings and performed on tours as well as at many venues across the UK.
