Further Update on BBC Radio 3 Choir of the Year Competition

We are delighted to announce that the Choir have been successful in winning the overall Open Category Choir of the Year competition held on 9 November at the Liverpool Philharmonic.

The hard work and dedication from these young choristers, Music Director and supporters has been justly rewarded.  The audience at the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic were literally overwhelmed by the performance from 80+ young choristers.  Their success was all the more enjoyable because by the time they performed they had been up for over 15 hours.  They now go on to compete in the Grand Finals of the competition to be held at the Festival Hall in London on 7 December.

It seems a long time ago since we first put our bid in for funding to help the Choir secure the support of a Movement Coach to work with the choristers in preparation for the BBC Radio 3 Choir of the Year competition. HeartWell gave the choir £450 to start their campaign for BBC Radio 3 Choir of the Year which was held in Sheffield in May.
