Evolve | National Youth Choir (9-15 Years) | YORK

Join the young singers of National Youth Choir (9-15 Years) - Female & Non-Binary for an afternoon of beautiful and spirited music, evoking nature in all its forms.

We begin with the infinite view of the horizon in Emily Hall's moving Eternity. We journey through changing landscape and seasons from Ola Gjeilo's cold, bleak Tundra, via Errollyn Wallen's ode to spring love It was a Lover and his Lass to the summer wind in Sarah Quartel's vibrant Voice on the Wind. The musical journey is enhanced by other poetry, some written by the singers, as well as beautiful lighting, and visual projections.
