A PROPOSAL AND VISION FOR A NEW CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE IN BARNSLEY
We are incredibly excited to share news that
we are in the process of trying to secure a new purpose built home for Barnsley Youth Choir. We are working closely with Barnsley Council to convert an existing building in the town centre.
The NAVE will be a purpose-built centre of vocal excellence and will be the home of Barnsley Youth Choir but will also engage with other organisations to provide a hub for singing regionally. Its position in the community and in the North of England is key, and it will provide exceptional training opportunities both locally and nationally.
The choir needs a purpose-built space to realise its ambitious plans to develop Barnsley as a
town with exceptional singing opportunities.
This rehearsal and development venue will have a dramatic impact on the quality of provision
we are able to offer. It will provide opportunities to expand, grow and work in a much more dynamic way, fostering meaningful and pertinent relationships with outstanding practitioners.
During the last 4 years the choir and its leaders have carefully considered the opportunities and risks of owning and running a venue. We are now convinced that we have the capacity, vision and drive to make this a success. Early pre-design engagement with choir members, volunteers and other key stakeholders has already taken place but there is scope for further consultation now a potential site has been identified.
More information will become available in due course and we hope that you will be able to support BYC in realising these ambitious plans, and in doing so provide a lasting legacy that will support thousands of children in the future.
Barnsley Youth Choir is proud to work in partnership with Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council
