National Choirs
Chamber Choir
Ages: 18 - 25A choir for very experienced and capable singers, chosen from the current membership of the National Youth Choir of Scotland.
The Chamber Choir was formed in 2022 to offer additional high-level performance opportunities to experienced National Youth Choir of Scotland singers. Building on the experience of 26 years of NYCOS, Christopher Bell has chosen 22 singers to become our first Leverhulme Scholars.
Following intensive rehearsals, the choir officially launched at the Lammermuir Festival in September 2023 to great acclaim singing music by Britten, Dove, Shaw and MacMillan. Future plans include performances at UK festivals, recordings and some concerts on tour around Scotland and elsewhere.
The Chamber Choir is fully supported by The Leverhulme Trust.

“If the full forces of the senior choir have already impressed some of the world’s top conductors in performances in Edinburgh, London, Europe and the United States, this elite unit of between 20 and 30 young voices is a refinement of that success.”

Costs & Financial Assistance
There is no cost to be a member of the Chamber Choir. The choir is supported by The Leverhulme Trust. All travelling costs and any accommodation is provided as necessary.
