This is a reminder that applications for the NYOS Training Ensembles are closing soon! Places are still available for most instruments, particularly lower strings, lower brass, harp, and percussion. If a section is full, applications can still be submitted and will be placed on the appropriate waiting list.
The NYOS Training Ensembles comprise four short non-auditioned, summer residential courses for strings, wind, brass and in 2022 we also mark the return of our percussion course for the first time since 2019. The courses are designed for younger players around the age of 8 to 14 (please see our website for approximate standards) and focus on learning repertoire, playing together as an ensemble, audition preparation and having fun!
NYOS is delighted to be welcoming our musicians back for in-person courses this year. We are continually assessing the ongoing situation with Covid and monitoring guidance to ensure that we are providing a safe environment for all participants. The well-being of our musicians, staff and audiences is our main priority so please do get in touch should you have any questions regarding this.
We would be extremely grateful if you could help us spread the word and forward this email on to anyone you think may find this of interest. If you would like to sign up to our teacher mailing list to receive information when all applications open, please click here.

Bursaries
The NYOS mission is to ensure that our work is open to young people from all backgrounds and circumstances each year and that no young person misses out on our life-changing projects due to financial circumstances. Thanks to external support, bursaries are available for participants who find it difficult to meet the costs of our membership fees. Each case is assessed individually, and all applications are treated in the strictest confidence. To find out more please click here.
