Bytown Voices' multi-generational choir project
Jan 21, 2023. In 2022-23 the Bytown Voices Community Choir is piloting a transition to a multi-generational choir model. Each year there are fewer opportunities for children to participate in choral singing in school or community. The BVCC multi-generational pilot project in the 2022 Fall season included six children (ages 9 yrs +) as phase one. It showed the model is viable and popular as long as the right supports are in place. It is anticipated that this will lead to a model which includes more children and a better balanced representation of choristers in other generation groupings: upper range of Gen Z, born 1997-2012; Millennials Gen Y, born 1981-1996; and Gen X, born 1965-1980.
