Auditions are open from Wednesday 13th May to the deadline on 9am Friday 31st July 2026.
The National Children’s Orchestras (NCOs) are interested to hear from all young musicians.
Everyone auditions for a place in NCO auditioned orchestras each year – players that have been an NCO member previously and players who are new to NCO, including those who may never have played in an orchestra before. This makes it fair for all young musicians interested in joining NCO.
It is free to audition, and auditions are submitted via a pre-recorded video.
