The Choir
We are a friendly group of young singers who enjoy making music together every week. There is no audition, just enthusiastic 7-18 year olds who are committed to singing to a high standard.
For over 30 years Bournville Young Singers has welcomed children from south-west Birmingham and helped them to develop their singing skills and form lasting friendships.
Our Musical Director, Steve Bache, was a member of the choir between 1997 and 2009. A primary school teacher, Steve sings and directs several choirs in his spare time.
