NCCGB The National Children's Choir of Great Britain is for young singers aged between 9-19

06/10/2026

We work really hard here at the National Child’s Choir of Great Britain!

What does a day on a course look like?
Well… a typical rehearsal day runs from 9am – 6pm. During these times NCCGB members spend most of their time singing in rehearsals, in singing lessons, or in musicianship sessions. We build in breaks and some downtime after lunch where they get the chance to do their choice of recreation. Activities on offer vary by course, but typically include things such as crafts, sport, friendship bracelet making, dance, bingo, origami, and board games. There is always an organised evening activity, such as a quiz, film night, and a cabaret evening.

Our days are full of fun but also require our singers to learn choral discipline, which requires focus, concentration, listening, and working as a team. We work across both courses towards a final large public concert at the end of the summer course and so it is imperative that the whole choir works as a team to achieve this.

Does this sound like somewhere you would thrive? We’re searching for talented singers to join the NCCGB next year - auditions are in November and must be booked in advance. See our website for all of the details!

This is a yoga account now.

Just kidding, but we do enjoy a bit of yoga with our Musical Director, Dan Ludford-Thomas, one of several recreation breaks we offer during our residential singing courses.

Senior Choir sang Joanna Marsh’s Oculi Omnium in their lunchtime recital this summer.

Did you know this piece is a setting of Psalm 144:15? This setting was commissioned by Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge - this Psalm is also the College Grace, said before dinner.

Senior Choir performed Déodat de Séverac’s setting of the Tantum ergo (a Medieval Latin hymn) in their lunchtime recital this summer and sounded particularly beautiful inside St John’s Church in Bromsgrove.

Audition spaces are filling up steadily, but there is good availability across most dates. If you would like to join the National Children’s Choir of Great Britain, now is your chance!
