The National Youth Choirs of Great Britain (NYCGB) is the family of choirs for outstanding young singers, and those with outstanding potential, in the United Kingdom. It comprises a total of five choirs for around 750 young people between the ages of 9 and 25:
Background and performance historyFounded in 1983 by Michael C. Brewer and Carl Browning,[1] NYCGB now comprises an educational structure of eight choirs: Boys' Choir for trebles and Cambiata Voices (for school years 5-10) which train together; Junior and Senior Girls' Choirs (for school years 6-10) which also train together; Training Choirs North and South, which are mixed boys and girls (for school years 9-13); the National Youth Choir (for school years 11 up to age 22); and the National Youth Chamber Choir for young professionals up to age 25.[2] 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.
NYCGB have also toured internationally and have visited New Zealand, Australia, USA, Singapore, Samoa, Rarotonga and South Africa, as well as destinations in Europe. Musical Directors
