For the first time in three years, NYCOS National Boys Choir and NYCOS National Girls Choir recently met for their week-long residential courses in Edinburgh. Days were divided into full rehearsals, sectional rehearsals, and musicianship games sessions, as well as recreational time to wind down and socialise.
Both courses culminated with spring concerts in Edinburgh (NYCOS National Boys Choir) and Glasgow (NYCOS National Girls Choir). The former marked NYCOS’ long-awaited return to the concert hall.
Hear what some of the choir members had to say during the course and look through the photos from the residential courses and Edinburgh spring concert below.
