AUDITIONING FOR NCO 2025 HANDBOOK

We are interested to hear from all young musicians with promise, whatever their background, schooling or circumstances. We are particularly keen to increase applications from young musicians who are currently underrepresented in our membership, including Black children, disabled children, children attending state schools and children from lower income families.

If we can support you by providing this information in an alternative format or by giving you additional information relevant to you and your child personally, please let us know by emailing [email protected]
