The National Youth Training Choir of Great Britain is a distinguished ensemble that has become one of the shining beacons of young choral talent in the United Kingdom. It forms a vital part of the National Youth Choirs of Great Britain (NYCGB), which is an organization comprising a family of choirs for singers from early childhood up to the age of 22. The Training Choir itself is specially designed to nurture the vocal and musical development of younger singers aged approximately 13 to 18. Entry into the choir is competitive and based on an audition process that identifies the most promising young singers from across the nation.

The choir's repertory is diverse and ambitious, showcasing both classical and contemporary works, often incorporating complex harmonies and varying styles that provide a challenging and enriching experience for its members. Through their series of recent releases, which include innovative arrangements such as "Cough Cough" arranged by Robert Brooks and choral adaptions of modern songs like “Supermassive Black Hole,” the National Youth Training Choir of Great Britain demonstrates its versatility and willingness to explore a wide range of musical genres. Their performances, like the resonant "Ave Maria (Live)" and the evocative "The Road Home," are not only displays of technical skill but also of the deep emotive power of choral singing. Through national and international tours, recordings, and high-profile performances, this ensemble serves both as an educational platform and a luminous spotlight for the exceptional musical talent found within the youth of Great Britain.
