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:
“In the planning and designing of new communities, housing projects, and urban renewal, the planners both public and private, need to give explicit consideration to the kind of world that is being created for the children who will be growing up in these settings. Particular attention should be given to the opportunities which the environment presents or precludes for involvement of children with persons both older and younger than themselves.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
“The Republican party makes even its young men seem old; the Democratic Party makes even its old men seem young.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
