Inspiring musical development with the Hampshire County Youth Choir!

A choir for young people in Hampshire...

On the following pages you’ll find information and photographs concerning our musical activities in Hampshire, and further afield. You will also find out about our regular rehearsal times and any upcoming concert dates. Drop in and join us!

For the last twenty years, the Hampshire County Youth Choir has provided a wonderful vehicle for choral singing. As part of the Hampshire Music Service, a leading and award-winning music service in the UK, we are always happy to welcome new members to our choir, and new members of the audience to our concerts! Hundreds of young people between the ages of 13 and 21 have benefitted from their participation in this choir. In exceptional cases membership of younger singers is given serious consideration.

Performances

We sing to the trees in Cathedral Grove!

We reguiarly give concerts throughout Hampshire, and have also thrilled audiences further afield in England, and in mainland Europe and Canada. If you would like to come and hear us, check out the details for our next performance. You will be very warmly welcomed!

An "OPEN REHEARSAL" on May 10th

On Friday May 10th, we will be holding an "Open Rehearsal" for the choir. To mark the time that some of our members will be even busier with GCSE, A/S, and A Level examinations, we have decided to hold an informal Open Rehearsal on this date, rather than a formal concert.

 

All families and friends of HCYC are invited to come along to the United Church, Jewry Street, Winchester, from 8pm. Light refreshments will be served and there will be an opportunity to hear the choir working through a range of items, and also an opportunity, for those who wish, to join in, from 8.45pm!
