It feels very exciting to be writing about another new choir! Junior Choir West will be opening its doors to the 4-7 year olds of Penistone and its surroundings on 19th April 2023.
We felt that this was a really important new development for the choir as Children’s Choir West has proved so successful and a number of children were travelling in to the centre
of Barnsley at a very inconvenient time, so hopefully we will be providing a favourable option for younger children on the West side of Barnsley. As I write this we already have
25 children signed up for this choir which is
a fantastic starting point. This is down to a relentless marketing campaign led by Mat Wright who has done so much to promote it. Clearly 25 is just a starting point – we’re aiming for double that, of course! Mat has also sourced an excellent venue in St John’s Community Centre in Penistone. We are delighted that they have been so welcoming. It is so important to BYC that the choir fosters positive relationships
across the borough of Barnsley. We are delighted that the team will be the same at Junior Choir West as it is at Junior Choir Central – Tom Masters will join myself and Gareth Taylor to create a very similar experience to Central Junior Choir. These means that when we join up for the concerts it will all work perfectly! We can’t wait to get started and meet the next set of people beginning their BYC journey.
