The Royal Albert Hall, with the stage on the left and audience on the right. Spotlights light up the stage in blue, and young people in LYC T shirts are on the stage, in the choir stalls, and in the right and left most audience seats. The audience is shining their phone torches, and the performers are holding finger torches.

Red lighting, and a girl stands in the centre of the picture, singing into a microphone. To the left is the conductor, and to the right behind the soloist is a band and about 6 rows of singers in LYC T shirts.

A woman with hair tied back, wearing a black dress, with her arms up in the air and with a joyful expression. In the background, rows of children in white T shirts are visible

One year ago today, on 9 May 2023, we brought together 1,500 young people from across London to celebrate our 10th birthday and the power of singing for young people. We were joined by a host of special guests including Anna Lapwood, Gareth Malone, Camilla Kerslake, Jamie Wright, Paul Whittaker, and host Aled Jones. It was a truly unforgettable evening, and we are truly grateful to everyone who helped to make it happen.

Since then, we’ve…

…welcomed 254 more young people to our 10 choirs

…nearly doubled the number of people receiving free places each year

…reached many more young people in schools and communities through our free workshops

…performed 31 times in venues all over London

With your help, we have raised £930,000 – 93% of our target to raise £1 million by August 2024, to transform more young lives through singing.

THANK YOU for being part of our story.
