A celebration of young voices from across the city
A heartwarming concert that brings together children from schools across Oxford, in partnership with the Oxford Bach Choir. It marks the end of a year-long collaboration through the Choir’s Schools Programme, which supports music-making and choral singing in local schools.
Expect a wide-ranging programme of music, classical, contemporary and a few surprises, all performed by the next generation of singers in Oxford. A concert that brings the community’s voice to the stage and reminds us of the important role music plays throughout our lives.
