Leeds Festival Chorus - Involvement With Young People

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:

    Even if you find yourself in a heated exchange with your toddler, it is better for your child to feel the heat rather than for him to feel you withdraw emotionally.... Active and emotional involvement between parent and child helps the child make the limits a part of himself.
    Stanley I. Greenspan (20th century)

    let the young Lambs bound
    As to the tabor’s sound!
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    You know what the Englishman’s idea of compromise is? He says, Some people say there is a God. Some people say there is no God. The truth probably lies somewhere between these two statements.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
