We are delighted to celebrate the 10th anniversary of National Youth Choir Recordings with the release of This Is Our Song – a two-disc album that captures the voices, passion, and creativity of our choirs, alumni, Emerging Professional Artists, and artistic partners.

Over the past decade, thousands of young people have found their voices through the National Youth Choir, discovering the power of music to inspire, connect, and transform. This album is a celebration of their journey – from the first note sung in rehearsal to the moments of magic captured in the recording room and on stage.

Alongside our singers, we are proud to have worked with an extraordinary community of conductors, guest ensembles, composers, arrangers, soloists, producers, and engineers whose artistry has helped shape these recordings.

This Is Our Song is more than an anniversary collection. It is a testament to ten years of music-making, to the ambition and creativity of thousands of young voices, and to the enduring joy of singing together.

For more information, including the artists and production staff that worked on the album, please download the album's booklet.
