The National Youth Orchestras of Scotland (NYOS) has a vision where all the communities access world-class ensemble youth music and share in its social, personal, and cultural benefits.

NYOS projects aim to cater to students ages 8 to 25 through orchestras, training and outreach programmes. NYOS creates inspirational, world-class, adventurous and fun musical experiences, creating a sense of belonging in the community to be forward-thinking, accessible, inclusive, fair and diverse. NYOS is collaborative, where people can learn and innovate to develop music as skilled creators.

In addition to organising residential training courses, rehearsals and national and international concert tours, NYOS also provides music workshops in communities throughout Scotland.

The National Youth Orchestras of Scotland are a full member of the European UNION of National Youth Orchestras.[1]
