The Singing Tour of the Western Front – November 2025

Imagine standing where history was made, where courage met unimaginable challenges, and where sacrifice paved the way for freedom. In November 2025, The OZY Youth Choir will embark on an extraordinary journey—the Singing Tour of the Western Front. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will take us to sing where soldiers fought bravely during the First World War, as we pay tribute through the universal language of song.

Through music, we will honour the stories of service and sacrifice, bringing history to life in a way that touches hearts and transcends borders. Each performance will be a living reminder of the strength of the human spirit, a call for reconciliation, and a testament to the power of young voices united in purpose.

A Call to Action for Young Leaders

Are you ready to make a difference?

This is your chance to step forward, to sing not just for yourself, but for those who came before us, for the families they left behind, and for the generations yet to come. If you love music, cherish history, and feel a calling to honour those who served with unwavering dedication, The OZY Youth Choir needs you.

As part of the Singing Tour of the Western Front, you won’t just perform—you will lead. You’ll be part of a team that uplifts one another, a family bound by a shared mission to remember, reconcile, and inspire. Together, we will be voices of hope and gratitude, weaving a tapestry of remembrance through every note we sing.

Join us in this remarkable journey of leadership, service, and song. Be the voice that carries forward the stories of the past and inspires the dreams of the future. Answer the call to honor history and make your mark as a young leader who stands for something greater.

Let your voice soar. Let your heart lead. And let your song be a bridge to a better tomorrow.

The time is now. Will you answer the call?
