Vale of York Voices - Home
Vale of York Voices (VoYV) is an "email" choir that
sings evensong in York Minster on Monday evenings
approximately once a month. The 'email' choir reference
relates to the way Vale of York Voices is administered; an
email goes out before each service to indicate what the
music is and to request a reply to indicate if singers
intend to be there.
One of the main reasons VoYV was started was to give an
opportunity for any choral singer wishing to join a choir
without a regular commitment that sings services in the
Minster. Our Musical Director is Professor
David Howard who is Head of the Department of
Electronics at the University of York, an organist, choral
conductor and choral singer, who researches the human
singing voice as part of his role as an academic.
Vale of York Voices has been disbanded
because York Minster have decided not to have sung
Evensong on Mondays any more in term time.
A new choir is being planned.
