2026 Programme

We’re excited to announce details for our 2026 Programme. The Spring Programme for the National Children’s Concert Band and the National Youth Concert Band will this year be held in The Bedford School from 28th March to 4th April, with a concert at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire on the 4th April.

In the Summer,  NCCB will be joining the NYCB and the exciting new National Youth Wind Ensemble for the very first time when they all head to Manchester for a few days rehearsing at Chetham’s School of Music from the 28th to the 30th August, with a concert in the Stoller Hall on the final day.

Applications can be made for all the bands by visiting our portal and by following the links to each band on our website.
