Following its two residential courses, the ensemble performs during spring and summer at a variety of venues and festivals as part of the Orchestra's annual national and international tours.
Annual membership of NYOS Development includes residential courses in both spring and summer, followed by the opportunity to perform at venues across Scotland.
The sessions not only focus on learning repertoire, but also on essentials such as ensemble skills, listening, posture and musicianship, along with advice on audition preparation.
It launched in September 2023 and brings together young people from across the local authority area, where they have the opportunity to learn and perform as an orchestra.
NYOS Engage is being piloted in East Lothian in 2023-24 and will move to another Local Authority in future academic years.
