NEW Congratulations, Will!
Will Dutton

Congratulations to Choirboy Will Dutton, who has been awarded a place at the world famous Yehudi Menuhin School, starting in September 2008, to study violin and singing.

For Will, this is a dream come true and will allow him to develop his passion for music and skills as a performer amongst other young people with extraordinary gifts. We look forward with William to this wonderful new chapter in his life.

Congratulations, Bill!
Bill Goss

Congratulations to Choirboy Bill Goss who has been awarded two musical scholarships to go up to St Peter’s School in York. Competition for these scholarships is always very high and so Bill is justifiably proud of his achievement.

Bill still has a busy rehearsal and concert schedule over the coming months, including a tour of two operas, A Midsummer Night's Dream and Macbeth, with Opera North. See Bill’s Events Diary for the latest details.
