Chapter House Youth Choir
The Chapter House Choir is committed to inspiring the next generation of choral singers and to mark our 50th anniversary year in 2016 we launched a new Youth Choir for talented singers aged 13-19. The young singers performed alongside The King’s Singers and The Chapter House Choir in York Minster in their first concert!
More recently, the Youth Choir performed in last October’s Nineteen Eighteen concert in the Chapter House of York Minster and sang Evensong in Selby Abbey on Sunday 24th March. The Youth Choir’s most recent event was a performance of Joseph Horovitz’s Captain Noah and his Floating Zoo and other songs, on Saturday 6 July 2019.

The Youth Choir is currently recruiting new members. If you know any singers aged 13-19 who would like to audition, please get in touch by visiting our Youth Choir web page and use the Contact button to arrange an audition to join.
