YOUNG singers from across Cheshire are being invited to try out for a youth music ensemble at the weekend.
Youth Music Voices is taking over Greater Manchester Music Action Zone’s (GMMAZ) partnership venue Band on the Wall in Manchester on Saturday (October 23) from 10.30am to 3.30pm and Liverpool’s Grade I listed Arts hub, The Bluecoat on Sunday (October 24) from 10.30am to 4pm.
Youth Music Voices is a major new Cultural Olympiad project, providing 14-19 year olds with an opportunity to celebrate the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games through singing.
Led by Richard Frostick and professional guest artists, the workshops will be inspiring, fun days for choirs and vocal groups – providing creative ideas, mixing up styles and genres and presenting a fantastic opportunity to meet other people in the region who share a passion for singing.
One hundred and fifty young singers from the broadest cultural mix across the UK will be recruited for the Youth Music Voices Ensemble – a youth vocal ensemble unlike any other in the UK. With its own style, individuality, leadership, and specially commissioned repertoire of new songs and arrangements, the young singers will produce vibrant and exciting music throughout the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad.
As well as developing these young singers to the highest standard, Youth Music Voices will be performing at a prestigious London location in the lead up to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
