They have sung at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and at King's College Cambridge, and have toured Italy, Croatia and Spain, the highlight of which was a concert to hundreds in Granada Cathedral. Local performances have included The Stables with Tenors Unlimited and MK Stadium for the Rugby World Cup.

Milton Keynes Youth Choir is a choir for young people aged 8 to 18,

established 20 years ago. They sing a wide range of music including jazz, pop, classical and world music and original pieces and arrangements by their Musical Director Craig McLeish. As well as their own regular Christmas concerts, they perform in competition, at community events, as guests of other choirs and, last year, supported Jacqui Dankworth and Charlie Wood at one of their ‘Just You, Just Me’ Jazz tour concerts.
