As part of their summer tour, our Senior Choir will stop off to sing ‘Sea Shores’ to Mary Anning’s newly erected statue in Lyme Regis. ‘Sea Shores’ makes up one third of the FYC commissioned ‘Herstory’ song cycle (written by our composer in residence for 2022, Russell Hepplewhite, with librettist Helen Eastman) that celebrates brilliant women from history. The other women celebrated are Caroline Herschel in ‘Comet Crazy’ and Katherine Johnson in ‘In the Numbers’. This is an open air performance and will therefore be weather dependent.

As part of our summer tour, the Senior Choir will be performing a free concert at the picturesque St Mylor Church, near Falmouth.

As part of their tour of Cornwall, the Senior Choir will perform a concert at King Charles the Martyr Church, Falmouth. This will be a free concert, with a retiring collection in aid of the RNLI, Falmouth.

As part of their summer tour, our Senior Choir will be performing at the beautiful chapel on St Michael’s Mount. Entry to the concert is free, but visitors will need to make their own way to the island and pay for entry (choir members’ families may visit the island for free to attend the concert). By kind permission of Lord St Levan.

As part of their summer tour, the Senior Choir will be performing a short concert at the Exeter Cathedral. More details at: www.exeter-cathedral.org.uk/whats-on/

Farnham Town Council has once again invited the Senior Choir to perform at their annual Carol Service.

This event is by invitation only but the Farnham Herald also awards tickets by a ballot. Anyone interested in acquiring tickets should buy the newspaper during November.

Do you have a child who loves to sing?

We are holding a free open rehearsal for any young singers in school years 3 & 4 (in September 2021). All children in this age group are welcome to attend, regardless of ability or previous experience. This is an opportunity to try out the choir before committing to join.

For more information and to sign up to the rehearsal please complete this form.

We are delighted to have been invited by the Farnham Maltings to perform a selection of FYC repertoire in this event, which will be the first time the FYC Senior Choir has performed together in over a year!

This is a free, ticketed performance which will take place in a marquee on the front lawn as part of a pilot project by house theatre- 'towns alive'.

The marquee will be on the lawn outside the Maltings from the 22 to the 25 July 2021. It will then go ‘on tour’ to four additional venues in the south east/east, and each venue will programme the tent with activity that celebrates their venue and town including performances and workshops.

Box office:

FYC accompanist, Matthew Rickard, will be staying on during the afternoon to provide some musical accompaniment to the afternoon tea, which will be served in the marquee from 2.00pm. If you would like to stay for this and to find out more about other events taking place in the marquee, go to:

In light of the government's announcement on Monday about the delay in easing restrictions, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our FYC Summer Concert. 

If you would like to donate your ticket costs to FYC then please email treasurer@fyc.org.uk before 26 June with the name of the person who booked the tickets. Refunds will be processed as soon as possible from 28 June.

Farnham Youth Choir is a charity and ongoing restrictions around singing and performing have been, and continue to be, financially & emotionally challenging for the choir and our brilliant music team.  We are truly grateful to everyone who supports us and we look forward to performing for you again as soon as we are able.  

Thank you for your support.

We are holding auditions for singers to join the Senior and Junior Choirs in September 2021. Young people who are currently in school years 8 - 12 should audition for Senior Choir and those in school years 4-7 should audition for Junior Choir.
