National Youth Folk Ensemble

The National Youth Folk Ensemble launched in October 2016, bringing together 17 of the most talented young folk musicians from across England. Following three intensive weeks in Somerset, Lancashire and Hertfordshire, working with folk luminaries such as Sam Sweeney (Artistic Director 2016-17), Rob Harbron, Jack Rutter and Sarah Hayes, the Ensemble performs its first full-length concert.

Expect modern arrangements of folk tunes from England and beyond, alongside new compositions drawing on traditional music, all created and performed by these rising stars.
