Taking part
Auditions for 2012 have now opened. For your chance to be part of Great Britain's exciting orchestral experience for children read on...
Every year the NCO tours the country to audition promising young musicians for our Orchestras. Auditions take place in October and successful candidates are then invited to the courses and concerts during the following year. Membership is for one year, after which children may audition again if they are still young enough.
Our audition process for 2012 membership has now opened. You can find out everything you need to know about venues, what to expect and more in this 'taking part' section of our website.
Read our audition leaflet to find out more.
