Two new choirs give Fylde coast children chance to join in anniversary concert
In association with Rossall School, the Society is forming a youth choir for young people aged 11 to 18 and a children’s choir for seven to 11-year-olds.
The aim is for all of the choristers to join together in an anniversary concert in the Marine Hall on Saturday, November 16 at 7.30pm.

Hide AdMargaret Young, director of music at Rossall School and musical director of Fleetwood and District Choral Society, said: “The aim of the project is to offer as many of the younger generation as possible the opportunity to perform in a spectacular programme of music, accompanied by a professional orchestra.”
It is hoped the choirs will encourage young people to sing a diverse repertoire of music from pop classics to the choral greats of the classical genre.
Rather than rehearsing on a weekly basis, the choirs will have either half or full day workshops which will be held at Rossall School during the holiday periods.
The workshops, led by professional musical directors, will cover basic vocal and performance technique.
