Thank you for your auditions!

Thank you for your auditions!

Thank you for auditioning for NCO 2026!

Thanks to everyone who took the time to submit an audition for NCO 2026. Your energy, efforts, and enthusiasm are amazing! We can’t wait to watch all your videos.

Auditions were open from Wednesday 14th May until the deadline of 9am on Thursday 31st July 2025. In that time, we received over 1000 auditions from excited young musicians wanting to be a part of one of our orchestras.

We’re now starting the busy but wonderful process of watching all of these auditions.

We may open Late Auditions for 2026 for instruments and/or ages where we have fewer applicants than needed to fill the orchestras. We’ll update information here in late August or early September 2025.
