National Youth Wind Ensemble of Great Britain National Youth Wind Ensemble of Great Britain The National Youth Wind Ensemble of Great Britain (NYWE) is regarded as one of the top youth wind groups in Europe, and hailed by Timothy Reynish as "one of the best wind groups in the world.".

The group worked under the name "The National Children's Wind Ensemble" but changed to its present name, "The National Youth Wind Ensemble of Great Britain", to enable older children to join the ensemble.
