VOICE YOUR VOICE CHOIR
Since forming in September 2017 the choir became multi-award winners, performed live on ITV & SKY SPORTS TV (25 million viewers) as well as at numerous venues and events including Disneyland Paris (alongside Mickey, Minnie, Goofy & professional Disney artists), the 2019 Netball World Cup Opening ceremony at Liverpool's M & S Arena, Liverpool International Music Festival (LIMF - Main stage) and many local festivals. The choir received 3000 votes to sing at the National Entertainment Awards in London in December 2019 and shortly after became the SMOOTH FM winner of "Carols On The Cobbles" which led the choir to perform at ITV studios on the famous Coronation Street set!
Despite the lockdowns in 2020, the choir continued online and were crowned winners of the North Regional Entertainment award for Best Choir, won an international online festival in and were featured on ITV's Granada Reports!
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
It's so wonderful to keep receiving lots of enquiries, however, although the Catherine Victoria Academy is still offering private tuition, the academy choir is not currently active. Catherine would like to thank all the children and parents and guardians who joined and supported the choir from 2017 - 2023.
"I have been so lucky to have directed such talented young singers, and their successes speak for themselves. For now, the choir has folded whilst I focus on research and my role at a wonderful stage school as Head of Singing & Voice, and I'm lucky enough to be continue my keen interest in choral work with the Royal Philharmonic children's choir. One day I may direct my own choir again, but for now, please keep singing and thank you for being such a special part of my musical life".

Catherine is extremely professional and brings the best out in the children, the music and singing is amazing, yet at the same time all the students are like family , they help each other and encourage each other regardless of age and experience. I would completely recommend The Catherine Victoria Academy." D.F
