How young singers can audition for the National Children's Choir of GB

It's the opportunity of a lifetime for young singers in Leeds.

The National Children's Choir of Great Britain (NCCGB) is looking for budding young singers who wish to join the choir at Easter 2026-and is visiting Leeds for one audition day on Sunday November 30.

These are open to any enthusiastic young singers aged between nine and 19. Successful candidates take part in two residential choral courses per year,

spending a week at Easter and summer in the idyllic setting of Bromsgrove School, Worcestershire. At their audition, young people are invited to perform one song from memory, accompanied, which should last no more than three minutes. They will also do some aural tests including musical memory tests and singing chords and (for children in Year 7 and above) some sight singing-tailored to the child's current singing level. Auditions last around 30 minutes including warm up time.
