York Civic Youth Choir ‘Lights on the Lake’
The York Civic Youth Choir have once again been invited by St Leonard’s Hospice to perform for them at one of their fundraising events. “Lights on the Lake” in Rowntree Park will take place on Wednesday 20th March at 6.30pm. This is a new event for 2019, there will be a short service (similar to “Light up a Life” at Christmas) followed by lanterns being floated on the Lake in Rowntree Park.

The plan is to light the way to the lake with a lantern procession to the lake and the choir have been invited to lead the procession with lanterns and then sing some songs before lanterns are floated. We would love for as many of the members of the choir old and new to be involved with this as it promises to be a really magical event.
We will be having ONE rehearsal only on Saturday 16th March from 10am-3:30pm at St Aelred’s School, including an informal performance for parents and family at 3:15pm. Please sign up below to take part.

Well done to all of our fantastic choir members – and a massive thank you to the staff and volunteers who helped to make our Young Voices trip such a success!
We will be taking a short break from practising to give everyone a chance to recover so there will be no more choir sessions now until after the half term break, but we look forward to seeing (and hearing!) you all after the holiday.
More photos coming soon !

St Leonards Hospice – Care, Fundraising, Events, Donate…
St Leonard’s Hospice is an independent charity, providing care and support for local people with life threatening illnesses. We have an In-patient Unit, Day Care and Hospice@Home service. In this relaxed and friendly environment, every patient is recognised and treated as an individual. With our support patients are able to enjoy the best possible quality of life. As we will be singing mostly familiar carols and songs for the event, we will only be having two rehearsals and children only need to attend one of those (though they are welcome to come to both if they’d like to). We will be rehearsing at St Aelred’s school. All details are on the sign up form. Please complete the sign up form if your child would like to take part in the St Leonards Light Up a Life Christmas Service at 6pm on Sunday 2nd December.York Civic Youth Choir
