National Youth Choir (9-15 Years): Evolve

Presented by The National Youth Choir

Join the young singers of National Youth Choir (9-15 Years) - Female & Non-Binary for an afternoon of beautiful and spirited music, evoking nature in all its forms.

We begin with the infinite view of the horizon in Emily Hall's moving Eternity. We journey through changing landscape and seasons from Ola Gjeilo's cold, bleak Tundra, via Errollyn Wallen's ode to spring love It was a Lover and his Lass to the summer wind in Sarah Quartel's vibrant Voice on the Wind. The musical journey is enhanced by other poetry, some written by the singers, as well as beautiful lighting, and visual projections.

Pre-concert workshop - 2pm
Don't just watch us sing - sing with us! Join us for a short, interactive workshop led by a National Youth Choir vocal leader. Open to all ages, this fun and family-friendly session happens just before the concert and is free for all ticket holders. Warm up your voices, sing together, and get an insider’s look at the music the choir will be performing. Don't miss this perfect start to an unforgettable performance!
