CYC Jamboree

A celebration of singing for secondary schools with Cornwall Youth Choir.

Join Cornwall Youth Choirs in celebrating Cornish youth singing! Enjoy an evening of song by five local secondary schools and Cornwall Youth Choirs. CYC will share the stage with pupils from Falmouth School, Penryn College, Penrice Academy, Pool Academy and The Roseland Academy.

The phrase “Onen hag oll” lies at the heart of the Cornwall Youth Choir, emphasising unity and collective purpose. The Cornwall Youth Choir family (CYC) comprises four graduated choirs that meet regularly across Cornwall. These choirs provide opportunities for children as young as four and young people up to the age of 25, each with varying levels of experience. Within CYC, there exists a framework for musical progression, fostered in a vocally nurturing environment of inclusion, mutual respect and celebrating a sense of place. CYC singers recognise their role in drawing attention to local issues affecting young people. They focus on protecting the local environment (for example, their costumes are made of recycled fabrics!) and promoting positive youth mental health through their choral community and network. Their repertoire is thoughtfully chosen to align with their values while maintaining musical motivation and interest across a wide range of new musical influences and genres.
