the national youth orchestras of scotland
The National Youth Orchestras of Scotland is unique in providing a complete
orchestral experience for its students aged between 8 and 25, through its
comprehensive pathway of orchestras, jazz bands, training ensembles and an ever
expanding outreach programme. In addition to organising residential training
programmes, intensive rehearsals and national and international concert tours,
the National Youth Orchestras of Scotland is committed to introducing musical
experiences to Scotland’s young people through workshops in communities
throughout the country. Our ensembles inspire audiences with their outstanding
skill, youthful energy and panache. Audiences marvel at the powerful sound of
our large-scale orchestras, appreciate the intimacy of our smaller chamber
ensembles and delight in the fresh and uplifting performances given by our jazz
bands. We believe in the future of Scotland’s next generation of musicians. Our
students are proud to play with Scotland’s National Youth Orchestras and we are
passionate about nurturing and developing their talent.
