Calling all singers in school years 9-13! Join us for exciting musical experiences and unique opportunities.

As a member of the CBSO Youth Chorus you'll work alongside a leading professional orchestra and world-class conductors. You'll perform regularly in one of the best concert halls in the world - Birmingham’s Symphony Hall. The stage is yours!

The CBSO Youth Chorus is an auditioned choir for upper voices in school years 9 - 13. We rehearse from 7:00-9:15pm every Monday evening during term time, with conductor Julian Wilkins. In rehearsals we're here to help you grow in confidence, learn from world-renowned musicians, and develop your musical skills, while creating a professional sound and making lifelong friends.

Sign up for a friendly 15-minute audition which will involve:

• Singing a song of your choice from memory
• Taking part in some musical ear tests
• Practicing a short unseen piece in the warm-up room before giving it your best shot in the audition
