On Wednesday 12th October 2016, a group of children from our school had the opportunity to experience live music making in one of the world’s most famous concert halls -The Royal Albert Hall. Children were absolutely overwhelmed by dynamic and vibrant performances presented by young musicians. When asked about their favourite acts, they undisputedly voted for The City Academy Hackney Choir which sang ‘Stand by me’ and The Turtles Steel Band which played on pans, containers and drums.
‘I enjoyed listening to the County Youth Orchestra but choir was the best’- George.‘That was the first concert I have ever been to’- Amelia.
‘The choir was amazing’-Alexandrina.
‘The girl from the choir had an incredible voice’- Cody.
We hope that this concert will inspire the children and motivate them to become the next generation of music-makers.
