National Youth Choir of Great Britain Success for David Jones

After a successful audition, David Jones has been appointed to the National Youth Choir of Great Britain. David, a pupil in the Upper Sixth at Prior Park is thrilled to have been selected and commented “This is a great opportunity, life is pretty hectic at the moment and I am really looking forward to the National Youth Choir tour to LA”.

Roland Robertson, Director of Music is delighted for David and said “High tenors are a rare and precious resource for any choir and I am not surprised that the audition panel recognised the natural quality and promise of David’s voice. However, his recent success is an endorsement of the time and commitment he has put into his singing over the years. We wish him an exciting and rewarding career with the NYCGB and look forward to watching his progress.”

It is a busy final year for David, who plays rugby for Prior (Full Colours 1st XV – 2008 season’s awards), performed in the College’s production of The Marriage of Figaro as well as being a significant figure in the school’s choirs and Bath Abbey Choir. He took part in a BBC live broadcast with the National Youth Choir last week.
