Audition required 

You’ve got a voice. Use it, nurture it, join it with others. Liverpool Philharmonic Youth Choir is where you’ll find the best young singers in the region, and where you’ll be mentored by expert vocal coaches.  

Liverpool Philharmonic Youth Choir performs traditional choral works, contemporary pieces, and even specially composed new commissions, often coming together with dynamic guest artists and ensembles including The Sixteen and Kantos Chamber Choir.  

Youth Choir’s impressive reputation has opened some incredible doors in the past, and as we now head into a new chapter, we’re excited about the opportunities that await. Of course, the Choir will always be regular visitors to Liverpool Philharmonic Hall, accompanying the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and performing in the annual festive extravaganza, Spirit of Christmas.  

Youth Choir singers with changing voices will also join the Cambiata Choir – a specially-designed choral group providing expert guidance and support as your voice develops.  

We’ll always focus on getting you to the top of your game. Youth Choir singers will receive performance health and wellbeing advice, as well as vocal health training. A team of specialist choral tutors will also be on hand to monitor and support your musical development.  

A small note about our auditions process

There'll be a piano accompanist at the audition to play along with you. You'll also be asked to complete a short aural test (matching pitch, testing your range and melodic dictation), as well as a short and simple sightreading exercise.
