The CNJ is essentially an "a capella" organism; it's repertoire includes works from the Renaissance period to our days, as well as traditional argentine music in choral arrangements. It has often performed together with local and foreign chamber and symphony orchestras, premiering works of several Argentinian contemporary authors among which Cántico from Hilda Dianda (1988), Antonio Russo's Magnificat (1999) and St John´s Passion (2002) and Ranieri’s Requiem (2001) stand out.

Ever since its creation, CNJ has offered more than 800 concerts in our country and abroad. Thirty tours have been made to the provinces of Argentina, four to South America, six to Europe and one to the USA.

The National Youth Choir of Argentina has released three CDs: the first one, Cuatro Siglos de Música Coral Latinoamericana (Four Centuries of Latin-American Choral Music), was nominated for the ACE awards in 1995; the second one, Musica Coral Romántica y Contemporánea, was published in 1998 and includes works from the XIX and XX centuries. Our third and most recent CD, Música de Nuestra Tierra (Music from our land, 2002), is entirely dedicated to choral arrangements of folk and popular songs from Argentina.

Since 1995 CNJ won 24 international awards for its participation in international choral competitions taking place in South America and Europe, mainly: 1st Award and Grand Prix in Porto Alegre, Brazil (1995); Silver Trophy in Tolosa, Spain (1996); Grand Prix at the Florilège Vocal de Tours, France (1998). In 1999 it won the 1st award in the Harmonie Festival (Lindenholzhausen, Germany) and reached the finals in the European Grand Prix contest at Varna, Bulgary.

In June 2003 it won the First Awards in the two categories of Polyphony and Folclore at the 40º International Contest in Spittal (Austria) Chorwettbewerb.

In 1998 the CAMU-UNESCO (Consejo Argentino de la Musica) grand award was granted to CNJ and in april 2000 it was chosen the Best Polyphonic Choir of the Season (1999).
