'Every performance by this choir confirms its exceptional quality.'

In April 2023, the National Women's Youth Choir was awarded the Young Talent Award of the Concertgebouw, and praised for its tremendous contribution to training young vocal talent for many years. Simon Reinink, general director of The Concertgebouw: 'Every performance of this choir confirms its exceptional quality.' The choir features young singers aged 16 to 29. They have an enormous drive to keep developing alongside their studies, school or job, and besides more traditional works, they like to be challenged in their own way in performing modern, complex music, such as the women's choir in Aus Licht by Stockhausen.

In the National Women's Youth Choir, young women ages 16 to 30 sing. The choir performs music from 1500 to the present, on professional stages at home and abroad, and has worked with guest conductors such as Eric Eric Ericson, Kaspar Putnins and Sigvards Klava. The National Women's Youth Choir regularly sings in professional series such as the Saturday Matinee and the AVROTROS Friday Concerts among others with the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra. Abroad, the choir performed several times with the Budapest Festival Orchestra, the Venice Baroque Orchestra and the Berliner Philharmoniker. 

Between 2006 - 2015, the Nationaal Vrouwen Jeugdkoor provided the music during the National May 4 Commemoration in the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam for eight years. Especially for this occasion, composers wrote new music, including Roel van Oosten, Theo Loevendie, Theo Verbeij, Iván Fischer and Matthias Kadar. The choir enjoys singing new music; last year, for example, the Galgenlieder by Lera Auerbach with the Berlage Saxophone Quartet conducted by László Nemes.
