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 young people, involvement, young and/or people:
“Don’t let young people tell you their aspirations; when they drop them they will drop you.”
—Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
“Juggling produces both practical and psychological benefits.... A woman’s involvement in one role can enhance her functioning in another. Being a wife can make it easier to work outside the home. Being a mother can facilitate the activities and foster the skills of the efficient wife or of the effective worker. And employment outside the home can contribute in substantial, practical ways to how one works within the home, as a spouse and as a parent.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
“And in the mean time my songs will travel,
And the devirginated young ladies will enjoy them
when they have got over the strangeness,”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“The people recognize themselves in their commodities; they find their soul in their automobile, hi-fi set, split-level home, kitchen equipment.”
—Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)
