Don’t Just Sit There – 2012 Cultural Olympiad
Over the last six months, the YYC have been involved with the Don’t Just Sit There project which is part of the i move programme; an initiative set up to create a cultural legacy within Yorkshire for the 2012 Olympic Games.
In collaboration with Leeds Youth Choir, Leeds Youth Percussion Ensemble and the Benton Park Singers, the choir have worked with London-based composer Stuart Wood to create a brand new composition celebrating Olympic spirit entitled ‘When I Move…’
The finished anthem has been awarded a coveted Inspire Mark by London 2012, officially becoming part of the Cultural Olympiad. As a result, many high-profile sporting events are requesting live performances by our young musicians such as the opening ceremony of the European Fencing Championships in Sheffield last July.
The most recent performance was at the North of England Education Conference at the Royal Armouries, Leeds on 4th January 2012.

Northern Orchestral Enterprises Ltd (NOEL) is a non-profit organisation committed to providing music-based activities and opportunities for all to enjoy and appreciate, whatever their age or level. Formed in 1996 by John Pryce-Jones & Barry Collarbone and based at Dean Clough in Halifax, NOEL is passionate about music as a unique form of communication with intellectual, social and physical benefits!
Our projects, run on the principles taught by Hungarian composer Zoltán Kodály, include a series of workshops to help teachers and musicians bring this accessible and enjoyable form of methodology into their classrooms, choirs and communities.
NOEL is reliant on funding from an annual, but by no means guaranteed, grant from West Yorkshire Grants as well as a matrix of sponsorship and donations from the business community, private trusts and charities.
