The National Youth Choir of Great Britain is to take part in an eight-day residential course at Bloxham School.

Directed by Michael Brewer OBE, the choir is set for an intensive course to prepare for its world tour which starts in July.

The choir is to hold a free open day on Thursday, January 2, at the school.

The repertoire being rehearsed in Oxfordshire will also be on the choir's next CD, which will be recorded in August in Los Angeles, USA, and goes on sale late next year.

The choir is set to perform at international venues across the globe, visiting South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Hawaii.
