Avon Valley  Youth Choir

 

The choir performs both sacred and secular repertoire. Recently, works have included popular classics, such as Handel’s ‘Zadok the Priest’ and Mendelssohn’s ‘Hear my prayer’, as well as arrangements of more recent tunes. The choir especially enjoyed singing a version of ‘Can’t take my eyes of you’.

The singers are versatile, and at home in a wide range of vocal styles. It is, of course, great experience for all of our choir members to sing music from over 5 centuries of musical composition.
