🇫🇷 I had a fantastic week in Lourdes with my colleagues providing the music for the Diocese of Leeds Pilgrimage. Definitely a very special place. Thanks for making this happen! Next year back with our talented young singers in Bradford and Huddersfield.

We are having so much fun at this fantastic choral course!

A busy day for our choirs across the Schools Singing Programme today! Our Senior Boys and Scholars sang at Corpus Christi Church, and our Junior Choirs welcomed young singers from Liverpool Cathedral to sing for Mass and a concert; BCYC Juniors, Huddersfield Boys, and BKYC also sang!

We are SO excited about our forthcoming project with The Sixteen - a weekend of workshops led by Eamonn Dougan and their singers. Music includes Duruflé's Requiem, Anerio's amazing double choir Magnificat and Mozart's Spatzenmesse! Hear the results on Sunday 3rd November, 3pm!

The end of a very enjoyable half-term - I'm very fortunate to have such excellent colleagues who make so much of this happen (thanks!), and choirs where the culture is both seriously aspirational and happy.

So proud to be part of this!

Come and support our Autumn Fair organised by our Bradford Catholic Youth Choir’s parents. We are raising money for an exciting choir pilgrimage abroad and we will be very grateful with any support please. Help us to share this and we look forward to seeing you there!
