Join us for this groundbreaking performance featuring a massed choir of 360 children from our Choral Partner Schools as well as singers from the City of London Schools’ Camerata.
The children performing will showcase some of the work of the St Paul’s Cathedral Choral Partnerships programme, which works with eleven schools across the Diocese of London to provide weekly, whole-class singing sessions throughout the academic year. Our widely acclaimed programme delivers over 50 singing sessions per week to around 2,000 children, led by Artistic Director, William Bruce and Choral Animateurs George Cook and Laurel Neighbour.
This concert will be an amazing opportunity for the children involved in our programme to perform with pupils from many different schools across London, as well as for friends and family to hear the work they have undertaken in one of the most iconic buildings in the city.
This is a fundraising event and supports our ongoing sustainability. All proceeds from ticket sales will directly support our charitable work including the Choral Partnership programme.
