Tees Valley Youth Choir is a choir made up of 13- to 19-year-olds from the boroughs of Stockton-on-Tees, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Darlington, and Redcar & Cleveland. It also draws some members from further afield, particularly North Yorkshire and surrounding areas. The choir was established in 1993 by John Forsyth MBE (County Music Adviser for Cleveland at the time). Since then, invitations to perform at National and International events have been a regular feature. John Forsyth MBE conducted the choir, which has produced many professional and semi-professional singers over the years, until summer 2010. He handed the baton to Andy King at his retirement concert at The Sage Gateshead in September 2010. Successful yearly European concert tours have taken the choir to Spain, Italy, Hungary, Slovakia, Belgium, France, Poland, the Czech Republic and Germany, usually alongside the Tees Valley Youth Orchestra. ==Concerts and performances== Tees Valley Youth Choir performs many concerts throughout the year. As well as performing in the Tees Valley and North Yorkshire, the choir does lots of concerts throughout the United Kingdom and Europe. In its busy schedule, the choir performed at The Sage Gateshead in August 2006, as part of a grand choral concert for the Association of British Choral Directors (ABCD). In the summer of 2008 Howard Goodall CBE, the well-known British composer and presenter, asked the choir to perform his requiem "Eternal Light" at the Newcastle Theatre Royal in March 2009. Choir members appeared with a number of major artists in the recording and music video of a cover version of God Only Knows simulcast on BBC television and radio channels on October 7, 2014 to launch BBC Music, and subsequently released as a charity single for Children in Need 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/3sN8FVLQFVcyh2t4MrmnS6r/bbc-music-s-god-only-knows-in-aid-of-bbc-children-in-need )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tees Valley Youth Choir」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
