Emerging Professional Artists programme

The National Youth Choir exists to provide exciting and inclusive creative opportunities for all young people.

Our Emerging Professional Artists programme, supports choral leaders and composers as they emerge into the professional world. It aims to address inequalities in the music industry by creating professional development pathways for those who are under-represented in choral music.

Crystalla lifts the lid on her yodel-choral work 'Little Ol' Lady Who', sharing snippets from the rehearsal and recording process - plus some affectionate renditions involving Beethoven and kazoos from the choir members themselves.
