Involvement With Young People
The Chorus supports Leeds Youth Choir in association with Leeds Artforms. Leeds Youth Choir welcomes young singers, male and female, aged 13+, to a friendly group of about thirty singers. The choir sings a wide range of music, from popular songs and musicals to classical works, and takes part in three or more concerts each year in Leeds and Yorkshire. The musical director is Alison Pryce-Jones. Support for Leeds Youth Choir is part of the Chorus's policy of encouraging young people to take more interest in classical music.
Children and young people in the audience at the performance of Handel's Messiah at Leeds Town Hall on 10 December 2011 were offered a form with a 'writing frame' and encouraged to write a detailed review of the performance for the Chorus's website.

Famous quotes containing the words involvement, young and/or people:
“Not only do our wives need support, but our children need our deep involvement in their lives. If this period [the early years] of primitive needs and primitive caretaking passes without us, it is lost forever. We can be involved in other ways, but never again on this profoundly intimate level.”
—Augustus Y. Napier (20th century)
“Family is the first school for young children, and parents are powerful models.”
—Alice Sterling Honig (20th century)
“A people’s literature is the great textbook for real knowledge of them. The writings of the day show the quality of the people as no historical reconstruction can.”
—Edith Hamilton (1867–1963)
