National Youth Training Choirs of Great Britain
- National Youth Training Choirs of Great Britain
The National Youth Training Choirs of Great Britain (NYTC) is the name given to part of the broad National Youth Choirs of Great Britain, which caters to talented young singers in the UK.
About the choir
NYTC is intended to prepare members for eventual entry to the National Youth Choir of Great Britain, the 'main choir'. Members of the choir are taken into advanced areas of choral repertoire and given experience of the highest standards of professional rehearsal and performance on courses around the UK. Entry to the choir is by direct audition, with the most talented members being put forward to advance, again by audition, into the main choir.
Brief history
NYTC was founded in 1995 for singers aged 13 - 18, and held its first course at Woodbridge School in Suffolk. Due to the immense number of eligible members, in 2008 it was divided into a Southern Training Choir and Northern Training Choir.
The choir was originally directed by Mike Brewer OBE, musical director of the National Youth Choirs of Great Britain and current director of the National Youth Choir of Great Britain. Later, Deborah Catterall took over this role, before being replaced by NYTC's current Director Greg Beardsell.
