Today, the Young Voices educational program features over 200,000 different students each year singing over multiple nights in cities across England, as well as Ireland, Germany, Trinidad and Tobago, South Africa, and since 2015, the United States. Now in collaboration with the National Association for Music Education (NAfME), Young Voices’ focus on music education is what makes this program unique. By design, it is not a competition, but instead a year-long journey that focuses on highlighting the musical potential of all students. Young Voices provides registered teachers all necessary resources needed to successfully prepare the music in classes and rehearsals throughout the school year. Our chorus ranges from 4,500 to 8,500 children, all performing at the same time to a sold-out audience of friends and family. Join us!
