Love singing? Interested in music and want to make new friends? We are looking for enthusiastic young singers from across north London to join us for our 2025-26 season. Find out more about HYC here, including info about our three choirs for young musicians aged 5-18.

Now in its 30th season, Highbury Youth Choir (formerly Highbury Young Singers) was formed to provide children and young people with the opportunity to perform with world-class professional musicians alongside Highbury-based chamber choir Eclectic Voices. Our three choirs now comprise young people aged 5-18, and perform all over London and beyond.

 

HYC is comprised of three choirs, each with its own identity: a foundation choir (Highbury Training Choir, for Years 1-3), an intermediate choir (Highbury Junior Choir, for Years 4 & 5) and a senior choir (Highbury Youth Choir, for Years 6+). We are home to singers from a range of schools across Islington and Hackney, and always look forward to welcoming new members.

HYC Charity Fund

We believe cost shouldn't prohibit children and young people from singing. We keep fees as low as we can and provide bursary places for those who need them. By donating to our Charity Fund you're helping to provide sheet music, folders, venues to rehearse and perform, and free places for families who can't afford our membership fees. Thank you for your kind donation - every little helps! You can donate through our JustGiving page.
