PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Only Boys Aloud is a free choir for young men age 11-19, based in five community locations across Southeast Wales. OBA exists not only to offer creative and expressive opportunities for boys who would not otherwise have the opportunity, but to provide a nurturing and educational environment led by professional music tutors, who act as positive role models. OBA improves self-esteem and life-skills, such as teamwork and respect. The boys enjoy a range of events and performance opportunities.
