Our Home

St Laurence Forres & the choir.

St Laurence Forres is a brand-new community-owned arts and events space — and it’s where we’ll call home.

Our partnership with St Laurence Forres gives the choir a proper home: a beautiful acoustic, a welcoming space, and a community that believes in what we’re doing. As a new venue, it’s the perfect place for us to grow together — and we aspire to help make it known for choral music in Moray.

This relationship underpins everything we do. It means our singers will have a space worthy of the music they’re making — and Forres has a venue that’s alive with young voices every week.

Structure

Where we are right now.

Forres Youth Choir is currently a partnership between its two directors, Shaun Brown and Adam Csenki. We’re in the early stages — building the choir, building the community, and building the structures that will sustain it for the long term.

We’re in the process of registering with OSCR (the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator). Once registration is complete, the choir will become a SCIO — a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation — with proper governance, trustees, and the ability to accept Gift Aid on donations.

Until then, we’re doing this the right way: step by step, transparently, with the interests of our young singers at the centre of every decision.

How you can help.

Spread the word

Know a family in Moray with young people aged 8–17? Tell them about us. Share our posts, mention us at the school gate, pass on our website. Word of mouth is how choirs grow.

Schools

We’d love to visit local schools — to perform, run workshops, or simply talk about what singing can do. If you work in a Moray school, get in touch. We’ll come to you.

Businesses

Interested in sponsorship or partnership? We’re looking for local businesses who want to support young people and the arts in Moray. Drop us a line at hello@forresyouthchoir.co.uk.

Individuals

Once we achieve charity status, we’ll be able to accept tax-efficient donations. In the meantime, the best thing you can do is spread the word and help us find our singers.

Want to talk?

Whether you’re a parent, a teacher, a business owner, or just someone who thinks young people in Moray deserve great music — we’d love to hear from you.
