The Young Voices Concerts take place each year in January and February. Schools can choose the venue that best suits them. On the day of the concert, the choir, along with up to 9,000 other young voices, will rehearse together for the first time, creating a vibrant collective experience. In the evening, prepare yourselves for a breathtaking concert performance featuring a few special guest artists. We also enlist the UK’s leading sound and light technicians to enhance the performance. The excitement and energy in the arena will be an unforgettable sensation for each child, making it the most memorable school trip of the year!

Once you are set up in the Teacher Centre, the teacher and everyone involved in the YV choir will gain access to the online learning platform where the children and their parents can listen to the music and watch dance move tutorials. This is a great way to help your choir rehearse at home when you can’t be with them in the classroom. >
