Marvellous Musicians step out on to national stage

A number of Senior School musicians will be working with Scotland's leading musicians over the next few months following successful auditions for the National Youth Orchestras of Scotland and National Youth Choir of Scotland.

The National Youth Orchestras of Scotland and National Youth Choir of Scotland are prestigious national ensembles that showcase the most exciting young musical talent in the country, with High School participating on a regular basis.

Those involved have the chance to attend exciting residential courses where they are led by the country's leading choral and orchestral conductors, culminating in performances throughout Scotland including concerts throughout April at Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall and Edinburgh's Usher Hall and Queen's Hall.
