Young Leaders training

Members of the NYC team spent the weekend at Mill Hill School training the future choir leaders from within the NYC ranks.

Keynote speaker Liz Garnett made a great impression, and her website provides an excellent overview of what was covered. Liz commented: "It was a wonderful group of people to spend time with – intelligent, energetic and humane. Their common experience in the choir showed not only through a shared repertoire of warm-up and rehearsal activities and choral conventions, but also through a common ethos."
