Sounds Sublime: London Youth Chamber Choir

Enjoy a special showcase performance by some of London's most talented young choral singers.

Designed to give a flavour of a year in the life of London Youth Chamber Choir, this concert will feature an eclectic array of well known, widely loved choral classics paired with repertoire from ‘off the beaten track’, showcasing a wide range of vocal and musical styles.

At its heart, London Youth Choirs (LYC) is a family of 10 choirs for young people from school year 3 to age 23. Since their foundation in 2012 their citywide vision has always promised two things: musical excellence and social change. They work constantly to remove barriers to access to ensure that everyone can take part. In addition to rehearsals and performances, LYC runs regular workshops in schools in order to bring singing to as many young people as possible.

LYC Chamber Choir is a 24-voice mixed voice choir for young people from across London aged 16 to age 23, and represents the culmination of the exceptional training offered to members on their LYC journey. Chamber Choir members are among London’s most advanced young choral singers, capable of tackling the most challenging and varied repertoire. Extra tuition and opportunities provide the richest possible musical experience and a gateway to early professional music-making for those interested in this path.

This performance is part of Sounds Sublime Choral Festival, a special annual event curated by The Sixteen, showcasing the passion, joy and diversity of the human voice. This year’s festival celebrates the journey of young voices, from under 5’s and their very first experiences of singing, to the extraordinary talent and passion of our current Genesis Sixteen choir.
