2015 Manchester Amateur Choral Competition – Youth Choir coming up

With their January exams behind them and (some) course work under their belts the Cantabile girls are really looking forward to a singing break in Manchester!

To join them on the 22nd February at 10:30 am buy your tickets from the Royal Northern College of Music website – £10 for adults and £5 for concessions (students, under 18s and senior citizens).

We’d love your support and so would the MACC which is working hard to provide a platform for  youth choirs across the country!

You might be interested to know that the goals of the competition are to:

  • Provide a safe and creative outlet for individual and collective musical ability
  • Encourage and promote diversity through the various community choirs taking part and the music performed
  • Encourage more members of the public to participate in choral singing
  • Provide a focus for community engagement in the arts within and without the region
  • Promote the furtherance of individual and collective musical ability
  • Highlight and nurture the talent that exists outside the professional musical world
  • Encourage a professional approach to challenge and endeavour by providing a showcasing opportunity for choirs
  • Highlight Manchester’s continuing energetic role in the encouragement of the arts and as a supporter of community initiatives
  • Encourage members of the public to experience choral music in public settings
  • Provide excellent publicity for both the music-making of amateur choirs but also for all those associated with the competition on the form of funders and sponsors
  • Encourage and support cross-cultural and community networking
