NYCoS National Girls Choir was formed in 2007 for singers aged 13-15 years. Membership is granted by audition on a yearly basis and is open to girls who are born, resident or studying in Scotland. So far, the choir has performed in Edinburgh, Perth, Aberdeen and Helensburgh.
The girls are selected from all over Scotland and attend an intensive six-day residential course each year where they learn and fine-tune the repertoire for the year ahead.
NYCoS National Girls Choir has received a number of invitations to perform at prestigious events including BBC Proms in the Park in 2008 and in the opening concert of the Edinburgh International Festival in 2010. In 2009 the choir gave the Scottish premiere of Dreamfighter by Tim Sutton at the Aberdeen International Youth Festival with the Scottish Ensemble.
In 2010, NYCoS National Girls Choir formed a Training Group and expanded the age range to 12–16 year olds allowing a greater number of young female singers to gain valuable experience of not only singing in a top choir but to access the high standards of musicianship training offered by NYCoS.
