NSSO 2023 APRIL 1ST-8TH

After a thrilling relaunch of NSSO in July 2022, we’ll be running 3 orchestral
courses in 2023 from April 1st-8th at Malvern College in Worcestershire.

There are still a limited number of spaces available for 2023. Please fill in
this form if you would like to apply.


OUR 2023 COURSES

Our Academy Orchestra is for musicians (approx grade 3-5), the Sinfonia
Orchestra (approx grades 5-7) and the Philharmonic Orchestra (grade 8-diploma+)
upwards. 

These grades are approximate and a guideline only. Don’t worry if you don’t take
exams – we will accept people based on the letter from your teacher and your
audition recording.

The three courses will run alongside each other, with children from all courses
joining each other for sports and evening activities every day.

This year’s courses will be divided into three orchestras which are broadly
distinguished by ability. We offer successful applicants a place in the
orchestra where we feel they will be best equipped to take part effectively,
successfully and happily.

Standards are indicated for general guidance only – you do not need to have
taken a particular examination.

Auditions for NSSO 2023 are online.

The deadline for online submissions was December 1st, and although this has now
passed, there are still a limited number of spaces available.

If you have taken part in NSSO before, then you do not need to audition again.
You will however be required to submit a short 5 min video of you performing in
the last 6 months so that we can gauge your position within the ensembles. This
can be a really informal video taken with a smart phone if you like, it does not
need to be professional quality!



 

Who are we?

As NSSO reaches its 29th year we are proud to be hosted again at the spectacular
Malvern College. Having been based in Malvern, Worcestershire since 2016, we
have enjoyed inspirational music courses with a world class music faculty in a
glorious setting on the slopes of the Malvern Hills.

We welcome music loving children on all orchestral instruments from grade 3 to
diploma level for a week of orchestral music making tutored by our professional
musicians, workshops with visiting surprise guests, fun and games on the
College’s magnificent sports fields and facilities and a full programme of
social activities throughout the week.

Our pastoral team work hard to make the children feel relaxed and cared-for
whilst giving them an inspirational week they’ll never forget.

If your child has autism or any other difficulties, please do speak to us as we
will always consider making adjustments to accommodate their needs where
appropriate and possible.

WELCOME FROM NSSO’S NEW ARTISTIC DIRECTOR NICOLE WILSON MARCH 20, 2022



When Malvern College approached me to take over from the wonderful John Madden
