The Lichfield Cathedral Young Voices joined forces with the Worcester Cathedral Young Vocies and the Young Phoenix Singers from Leek for a workshop day at Lichfield Cathedral.  The day culminated with a concert of music learnt during the day and solo numbers from each choir. 

The Young Voices were invited by the Association of British Choral Directors to participate in a workshop with composer/director Bob Chilcott. 

Along with many other choirs, totalling nearly 400 singers, the Young Voices learnt repertoire, including Chilcott's Jazz Mass.  The day ended with an informal concert in Birmingham Town Hall, where the workshop was held.

Lichfield Cathedral Young Voices joined part in a 36-hour marathon sung by one or other other of the choirs associated with Lichfield Cathedral.  The event was not only a superb community gathering but it also displayed the huge variety of mediums that can be used in worship.  The psalms were sung to the main Cathedral stapes of Anglican chant and plainchant but it also included responsorial psalmody and a huge variety of composed settings of the texts. 

The Young Voices did themselves proud - singing 205 verses - many by soloists who did brilliantly!

In a new venture, Young Voices, the amazing choir for children from the Lichfield area, raised the roof at Lichfield Cathedral on Satuday (6^th March), accompanied by the City of Lichfield Concert Band. This combination, an experiment which is surely to be repeated, was a huge success and drew an audience of over 300 for an evening of exciting and foot-tapping music.  Young Voices  were thrilled to join with the growingly acclaimed city concert band, who are well-known for their involvement in civic events and directed by Mark Vause, for such a superb evening.
