LYC, a centre of musical excellence & inclusivity, brings young people together from across London, regardless of social & financial background. After a year of online rehearsals & concerts, we're singing together again. Funds raised will help us grow membership and reach more disadvantaged areas.

    Situation

    LYC aspires to welcome more young people from disadvantaged backgrounds & areas with few opportunities for high-quality choral singing. By removing financial & social barriers, we give talented young people the chance to work with leading practitioners & participate in major musical events. Numbers within our 7 existing choirs declined during the year of online rehearsals, yet membership was maintained by creating an 8th choir. Now we seek to regrow membership and increase accessibility for all.

    Solution

    LYC's team of choral specialists can make real substantial change to the lives and ambitions of young people across the capital. A major expansion programme launched last year has already seen the creation of 2 of 4 new junior choirs in outer boroughs, bringing the LYC Experience closer to home for children in disadvantaged areas. As per our 6 City-based choirs, fees will be subsidised and additional support provided to remove barriers.
