Earlier today The National Youth Choir of Scotland (NYCoS) performed at Edinburgh Airport just ahead of their US tour.
The performance, in Edinburgh Airport’s Plaza, which featured 77 male and female singers, was a double birthday celebration as it also marked Edinburgh Airport’s ongoing centenary celebrations.
Christopher Bell, NYCoS Artistic Director, said: “We’re celebrating our 20th anniversary in style. Invitations from the world’s leading festivals and conductors to perform internationally cannot be bought; they are based on high quality and reputation. NYCoS is privileged and honoured to be regarded on such a professional level.
“It is a joy to share a double birthday celebration with Edinburgh Airport on the first day of so many people’s summer holidays.”
Gordon Dewar, Edinburgh Airport’s Chief Executive, said: “The talented young men and women of NYCoS are a credit to the country and I am delighted that Edinburgh Airport is the point where they depart Scotland for their US tour.
“It is has also been a real treat for everyone here – including our unsuspecting passengers – to be sung to on our 100th birthday by this internationally acclaimed choir.”
The choir is artistically led by Christopher Bell of Festival Chorus fame and membership is open to all of those under 25 who want to sing.
