OVERVIEW

Established in 1984, the National Youth Choir of Wales has supported the long-standing choral traditions of Wales ever since, with many alumni still singing or conducting choirs throughout Wales and further afield.

Other alumni can be heard performing professionally in concert halls and opera houses throughout the World, including Sir Bryn Terfel, Katherine Jenkins and current NYCW conductor, Tim Rhys-Evans.

The Choir’s members, largely aged between 16 and 22 years, are drawn from all parts of Wales and auditioned annually. As with all NYAW ensembles, the choir works with first-class professional musicians to deliver its key strategic aim of Excellence.

Registrations for National Youth Choir of Wales 2025 auditions closed on 13 October.
