National Youth Orchestra Of Scotland
The National Youth Orchestras of Scotland (NYOS) is unique in that it provides orchestral experiences in classical and jazz music for its students from the age of 8 – 25, through no fewer than eight ensembles, ranging in age, size and musical style.
In addition to organising training, intensive rehearsals and national and international concert tours for its orchestras, The National Youth Orchestras of Scotland is committed to introducing musical experiences to Scotland’s young people through workshops in primary and secondary schools.
NYOS runs eight national youth ensembles: The National Youth Orchestra of Scotland, NYOS Senior Orchestra, NYOS Junior Orchestra, The National Youth Jazz Orchestra of Scotland (NYJOS), NYOS Camerata (Pre professional chamber ensemble), NYOS Futures (contemporary classical ensemble), NYJOS Collective (smaller Jazz Ensemble), and NYJOS Access (Jazz training band).
NYOS ensembles inspire audiences worldwide with their outstanding skill, youthful energy and panache. Audiences marvel at the powerful sound of our large-scale orchestras, appreciate the intimacy of our smaller chamber concerts and delight in the fresh and uplifting performances given by our jazz bands. They are often surprised and always impressed by the exceptional talent of Scotland’s young musicians.
We believe in the future of Scotland’s next generation of musicians, our students are proud and excited to be playing with Scotland’s National Youth Orchestras and we are passionate about supporting and developing their talent.

““Pop” Wyman ruled here with a firm but gentle hand; no drunken man was ever served at the bar; no married man was allowed to play at the tables; across the face of the large clock was written “Please Don’t Swear,” and over the orchestra appeared the gentle admonition, “Don’t Shoot the Pianist—He’s Doing His Damndest.””
