Yorkshire Youth Choir (YYC) was formed in 2002 as part of Northern Orchestral Enterprises Limited (NOEL). It comprises both a Main and Training Choir with a current total of around 130 members ages ranging 10-21. == About The Choir == YYC was formed in 2002 as part of Northern Orchestral Enterprises Limited (NOEL) under the Artistic Directorship of John Pryce-Jones. The Choir routinely meets twice a year in the Easter and Summer holidays for week-long residential courses and currently has around 130 members, ages ranging from 10-21.〔http://www.northernorchestralenterprises.co.uk/index.php/yorkshireyouthchoir/〕 The choir has visited a number of schools and Universities around Yorkshire to hold the residential courses. These include Ampleforth College, University of York, Giggleswick School, Harrogate Ladies' College and Queen Ethelburga's Collegiate. From 2002 to 2007 the Main Choir did not have a permanent conductor and invited guest conductors to work with the choir for the residential courses. These included Joyce Ellis, Jill Henderson-Wild, Cathy Roberts, Gilian Dibden and Mark Griffiths.〔http://www.digyorkshire.com/(S(roaxnubsdrzhhv550br30knp)A(IBNAsIoazAEkAAAAZWU1MWE4MWQtZDRkNy00ZDU4LWE4NTctYTViMDkwYWZjMGMwpnun2Q_xjTHwsgEIRAgXOTo8IMw1))/EventListing.aspx?Event=5〕 Since 2008, NOEL's Artistic Director John Pryce-Jones has been the permanent conductor of the Main Choir with his wife and fellow artistic director Alison Pryce-Jones having conducted the Training Choir since the choir's inception. The Training Choir sings in SA and SSA format and is intended for primarily younger and less chorally experienced choir members to develop their sight reading, aural and general choral skills. However, following a few Training Choir courses, members are usually deemed ready to be moved up into the Main Choir. The Main Choir sings in SATB format and usually joins together with the training choir to sing a Medley of Popular/Musical Theatre songs at the end of concerts. The Yorkshire Youth Choir has always been dedicated to introducing its choristers to varied styles and cultures of music. One of the ways this is done is through workshops taking place both during and in between residential courses. These workshops have explored areas of music that would not usually be covered in a choir, such as Jazz, Gospel, African, World and Theatre music.〔http://www.digyorkshire.com/(S(roaxnubsdrzhhv550br30knp)A(IBNAsIoazAEkAAAAZWU1MWE4MWQtZDRkNy00ZDU4LWE4NTctYTViMDkwYWZjMGMwpnun2Q_xjTHwsgEIRAgXOTo8IMw1))/EventListing.aspx?Event=〕 In these workshops, YYC have worked with the likes of Pete Churchill, Chris Mallinson, Lin Marsh, Lucky Moyo, Paul Whittaker and Cyrilla Rowsell. These workshops have been taking place since the Easter residential of 2003 and have been largely successful, especially in the case of Pete Churchill who has returned to give workshops at 3 separate residential courses. The choir has contributed to the production of several professional musicians and performers, many of whom have undergone some form of professional education in institutes such as LIPA and East15. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yorkshire Youth Choir」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
