NYOS 2018
The National Youth
Orchestras of Scotland (NYOS) is delighted to announce that Classical
Applications for 2018 are now open.
2018 is shaping up to be a
very exciting year for NYOS as they present a programme for all seasons
celebrating the ‘Power of Nature’.
During our spring and
summer residential courses students receive tuition from top-class professional
musicians, while working alongside renowned soloists and conductors followed by
the opportunity to experience the thrill of orchestral performance at top
venues across the country.
As part of the Symphony
Orchestra programme in 2018 they will mark a welcome return to one the most prestigious
festivals in the UK and take part in an once-in-a-lifetime, truly
international, live open-air performance in Glasgow’s George Square. More
details about both these events will be revealed in due course.
So, if you would like to
play your part in #NYOS2018 and you are Scottish, or study either at school,
university or conservatoire in Scotland, or have family ties in Scotland but
live elsewhere, then you can apply now.
