Students from PQA York dazzled at York Minster this week as they performed on stage with X Factor stars G4!
PQA York students were absolutely delighted this Christmas to be part of the York leg of G4’s annual Christmas tour. Students were taught six songs of which they sang three accompanying the band and the other three alone using G4’s musicians.
Principal at PQA York, James Aconley, said
‘‘It was a very festive and magical evening for the students at PQA York as they arrived at York Minster last night. The students teamed up with students from PQA Scarborough to make a 70 strong choir of 6–18-year-olds.
It was a full house in the Minster and for some of our students this was the biggest audience they had every performed for! The students sang beautifully, and we are extremely proud of them!’’

PQA provides performing arts training for children and teens aged 4–18. Our Main Academy (ages 6–18) includes three core classes:
Some academies also offer Poppets (ages 4–6), an energetic 90-minute class introducing young children to singing, dancing and acting.
PQA welcomes all children, whether they’re complete beginners or already confident performers. There’s no audition needed to join.
At PQA students in Main Academy are grouped by age, learning with other children and young people at similar stages.
This depends on where you feel your child will be happiest. Some 6-year olds are ready to join the 6-9 age group in Main Academy, others will feel more comfortable starting in Poppets.
Your always welcome to discuss what’s best for your child with your local Principal before booking your free session.
