Beverley Humphreys reflects on the theme of ‘finding a voice’.

Beverley Humphreys preaches in a service reflecting on the theme of ‘finding a voice’ with contributions from members of the National Youth Choir of Wales.

Beverley Humphreys reflects on the theme of ‘finding a voice’ in the context of the new academic year.  Based around the story of the young prophet Samuel, who discovers the potential of his own voice by hearing and responding to the call of God, the service includes contributions from members of the National Youth Choir of Wales about to embark on new beginnings of their own.  
 
Established in 1984, the National Youth Choir of Wales has supported the long-standing choral traditions of Wales ever since, with many alumni still singing or conducting choirs throughout Wales and further afield. The Choirs members are aged between 16 and 22 years and are drawn from all parts of Wales.  
 
Due to the pandemic, the choir have been meeting digitally this year.  However, 50 choristers were recently able to reunite for a COIVD-safe ‘live’ rehearsal in Newport, to raise their voices in song together again.  The service includes archive recordings of the choir.
