The LABBS Youth Choruses
As part of its Youth Development programme, LABBS supports two LABBS Youth Choruses for young women aged between 7 and 18, and 18 and 29, from all over the UK. They rehearse in a number of geographical locations (including Bristol, Leicester, Stockport and London). Any member of LABBS under the age of 30 can be a member of the Youth Chorus (either as a dual member, or a sole member).
The choruses perform each year at the annual LABBS Convention, and also on shows hosted by other LABBS choruses.
