The National Youth Folk Ensemble will bring together talented young folk musicians from across England to participate in intensive residential courses, create new arrangements of folk music and give public performances, guided by Artistic Director Sam Sweeney and a team of leading folk artists.

NYFE are looking for instrumentalists aged 14-18 who are dedicated to developing as folk artists and excited about collaborating with others who share their passion.

This Sampler Day is the first stage of the audition process and will include creative workshops, individual auditions and an information session.

The National Youth Folk Ensemble is an English Folk Dance and Song Society programme, funded by Arts Council England. To find out more and to apply to attend this Sampler Day at Cornerstone visit www.efdss.org/nationalyouthfolkensemble and follow the links.
