Young people in South London are invited to audition and become part of a funky new contemporary choir aiming to be the most talked about youth chorale outfit in London that is being formed in the London Borough of Greenwich.
This soon to be launched choir is the brainchild of Michael Kosmas, a young social entrepreneur, and will provide young people with opportunities to develop new musical skills, build confidence, perform in public and learn to work in a team with others.
Michael stated, “One thing guaranteed to attract the interest and unite young people together is music. This new choir will give young people of different ages and backgrounds an opportunity to meet other young people, form new friendships and more importantly acquire new skills that will arise as a result of learning new songs and performing in a choir. Plus they’ll be inspiring the public with the great songs they’ll be singing.”
Following the auditions, official rehearsals will start on January 30th 2010. Choir members will learn to sing a mixture of gospel songs and inspirational numbers and plans are in motion to officially launch the choir in July.
Choir members that are exceptionally gifted will be given a chance to form groups that will perform alongside the choir as well as undergo artist development.
Michael explained, “There are lots of gifted young people who want to develop a career in the music business. We will pick out choir members that are particularly gifted in the area of music and give them opportunities to further develop their talents so that they can pursue record deals and careers in the music industry.”
When the choir is up and running, it will be available to perform at community events, concerts and at faith groups.

Address: Greenwich West Community Centre, 141 Greenwich High Road, London SE10

Time: 12pm – 2pm

Is there any chance for any more auditions or is it too late?
Hi there, I saw the information about the auditioning for a choir and I would be happy if you could link me up with Michael Kosmas. We are an evangelistic outreach ministry based in South London, about to start offering singing/voice training classes as well as other activities for young people in our community. Kindly send me an email if this is possible.
Many thanks
