MORE than 30 talented singers from across England were in York this week for the Easter course of the Royal School of Church Music's Millennium Youth Choir.

The week of concentrated training concludes tonight with a recital at York Minster of music by composers from both York and New York.

The choir, which made its debut at the Millennium Dome on New Year's Eve, 1999, has sung at services around the country, including the Queen Mother's 100th birthday celebrations. Tickets for tonight's performance are available from the Theatre Royal on 01904 623568.

Tomorrow, the choir will sing the morning Eucharist at Selby Abbey.
