NYC Young Composers 6

Release date: 31 January 2025

The sixth recording in the Young Composers series – a collaboration with the National Youth Choir. 

The works featured on the recording are by Jamie Powe, Crystalla Serghiou, Áine Mallon and Cameron Biles-Liddell, the four National Youth Choir Young Composers for 2024. Their works are based around the creative theme of ‘Evolve’, which coincides with the refresh of National Youth Choir’s ensemble names earlier last year. 

Now in its sixth year, the Young Composers series is a collaboration between the National Youth Choir and NMC Recordings. Both partners have the shared ethos of supporting emerging professional artists, enabling new choral music and promoting it through professional release. Supporting the project was composer Joanna Marsh as lead mentor, alongside guest mentors Ben Parry, Cheryl Frances-Hoad, Oliver Tarney and Héloïse Werner.
