We believe that children from all backgrounds should have access to music opportunities.
The Blackheath Halls Youth Choir comprises of 60 young people aged 8 to 18 from across our local area. We rehearse and perform both as a full group and also as separate Junior (years 3-6) and Senior (years 7+) choirs. The choir usually rehearses at Blackheath Halls on Monday afternoons during term time.
The choir is completely free of charge to all members. We strongly believe that the choir is a more diverse and inclusive group of committed young singers as a result.
The choir have previously teamed up with English Touring Opera and the London Philharmonic Orchestra for performances, as well as regularly performing at Blackheath Halls and other venues across London. Members of our Youth Choir have been taken on by the Royal Opera House Youth Company, the English National Opera Youth Company and the National Youth Choir.
Our singers are recruited from the local area with an emphasis on young people who would not otherwise have access to this type of experience.
