Orange Box Choir began in 2017 as a singing for wellbeing group. Orange Box Choir is a platform for young people and young adults to take part, have fun, make friends and inspire others by sharing their voices. It is an inclusive community choir for young people and young adults (age 13 to 25) of all abilities/needs. It is a safe welcoming environment where young people are able to express themselves musically and are given the necessary support to build their confidence.
We believe art is for everyone, regardless of perceived ‘talent’ or skill, and feel everyone has something to give and gain from taking part.
Participants have performed at numerous local events and charity fundraisers, such as KACCL’s annual fundraiser, Calderdale Pride, Overgate Hospice and the CFFC Community Spirit Awards. They also featured in Mind The Gap’s production of Zara in The Piece Hall in 2019.
