It has been a part of Gabrieli Roar since 2015. The choirs are auditioned, and choir members pay £55 a term subscription. It runs five choirs for children aged from 3 to 21 years living or educated in Greater London. Gabrieli Roar was founded in 2010, and is a partnership between the Gabrieli Consort and a range of British youth choirs, enabling the latter to perform alongside professional musicians and providing support and encouragement, particularly in areas of low cultural provision. The London Youth Choir (LYC) was established in 2012.

Two examples were on show at this event: Gabrieli Roar and the London Youth Choir. On a day when the BBC reported on research into the sad state of music education in English secondary schools, it was good to be reminded of the many musical activities that are available to young people.
