Arden Youth Choir

Want to be an Arden Angel but are too young? Well here's your chance!!

We are on the lookout for talented young girls aged 8 to 11yrs to become "Little Angels". You don’t need to be a wonderful singer, but be able to sing in tune and have a lot of enthusiasm!

Auditions will be held at Christ Church, Carr Road, Nelson BB9 7EN on Sunday 8th July and Saturday 14th July.

Please send an email to – ardenlittleangels@hotmail.co.uk with the subject title “AUDITION” stating your name, age, school and a preferred date if necessary. We will then contact you with a time and day.

The audition will be informal so no need to worry. All we ask is for you to have prepared one or two songs. You can either bring a backing CD, sheet music or sing a cappella.

If you are successful, you will hear within 2 weeks, and the rehearsals will start in September on Monday nights

6.30pm till 7.30pm at Christ Church, Carr Road, Nelson

The Arden Youth Choir for girls was founded in 2005 by Susan Eames and has built up a solid reputation for being a diverse and versatile choir; whether singing classical in a stately home for charity, at a wedding, or pop and soul on stage with a live band at a festival, they adapt their style to whatever the occasion demands.

What makes the choir so unique is their varied repertoire, ranging from pop, gospel and soul to classical, folk and opera. The girls’ performances are renowned for their vivacity, sparkle and excitement.

In competitions they are praised for their mature tone, fine articulation, sincere delivery, performance, and perfect tuning - the list goes on!

They have made regular appearances on BBC Radio and taken part in various TV shows for ITV, BBC and Sky. They won Choir of the Day at their heat for the BBC Choir of the Year competition, and are regularly invited to take part in other TV shows and events.

A trip to Paris saw them sing in Notre Dame Cathedral and on the main stage at Disneyland Paris. They have worked with and supported the London Community Gospel Choir on more than one occasion.

The girls also regularly support charitable institutions, and have held concerts in aid of Cancer Research, Pendleside Hospice, Macmillan Nurses, Barnardos and the RNLI to name but a few.

Notice

Susan Eames has announced that she will be stepping back from her musical directing role temporally so that she can spend more time with her family. She will, of course, continue with her singing tuition as normal, and will still help out on occasions. She leaves the choir in the capable hands of our accompanists Peter Elmer and Janet Ismail who have agreed to share the role until Susan returns later in 2012.
