Applications are open until 29 September 2022 for the National Youth Orchestras of Scotland (NYOS), including the Development Orchestra – a group that will replace the Junior and Senior Orchestras from 2023 onwards. 

Young people involved in the NYOS Development Orchestra will be trained and prepared for auditioning for the NYOS Symphony Orchestra in the future, and will also gain the opportunity to perform repertoire with other students from across Scotland. 

Alongside the change in orchestras this year, the NYOS has also altered the upper age limit for the Symphony Orchestra applications, reducing it to 22 years. From 2023, courses will also be slightly longer than in recent years.
