National Youth Choir (9-15 Years): Songs of Land and Sky
Presented by National Youth Choir
Let the dynamic young singers of National Youth Choir (9-15 Years) take you on a journey — the kind that starts with a seed in the ground or a breeze through the trees.
Our songs tell stories of rivers, mountains, clouds in the sky, and the people who experience them. Some are old folksongs, some are new compositions, but all of them remind us how connected we are to the places we come from, the land we walk on, and the skies we dream under. This afternoon's music is about movement, memory, and the simple beauty of being part of something bigger than ourselves.
National Youth Choir brings the finest young singers from across the UK together to take part in life-changing musical experiences. Whether you're a die-hard choral music fan or you've never been to a choir concert before, we know you’ll enjoy seeing the enthusiasm, talent and joy of our young singers shine through in this performance.
Pre-concert SING! 2pm-2.30pm
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, try something new and have fun together before settling down for this brilliant concert.
