We're five choirs of seven hundred young people aged 9-25, and a national singing champion reaching hundreds more every year through outreach. We run inspirational residential courses and training programmes, create remarkable concerts and performances, and work in partnership to get singing happening in schools. We do it because since 1983 we've seen how singing together transforms young people's lives, and we want it to transform the lives of thousands more.
Our History
Founded in 1983, the National Youth Choirs of Great Britain has grown to become one of the most highly regarded and inspirational youth music organisations in the world.
Originally set up as a single choir made up of 100 of the best young singers in Britain, the NYCGB now comprises an educational structure of eight choirs: Boys' Choir for trebles and Cambiata Voices (for school years 5-10) which train together; Girls' Choirs Junior and Senior (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 Chamber Choir for young professionals up to age 24.
