Concerts will see 3,000 school children perform

Around 3,000 school children from Wolverhampton will perform at Singing In The Halls

Around 3,000 children from across Wolverhampton will come together to perform at two special concerts next week.

The events, called Singing In The Halls, have been organised by Wolverhampton Music Service.

Singing at University of Wolverhampton at The Halls, the children from primary and SEND schools across the city will perform accompanied by a 14 piece band.

Councillor Jacqui Coogan said: "This will be a fantastic experience for our children to be able to sing at the city's biggest performance venue, University of Wolverhampton at The Halls, and for so many schools and performers to be a part of it."

She added: "Music has the power to inspire, uplift and unite, and through these concerts our Music Service is aiming to foster a sense of community and creativity among young performers, and to inspire them to begin their own musical journeys."

Ciaran O'Donnell, head of Wolverhampton Music Service, said: "It's once again been a pleasure working with primary and special schools for Singing In The Halls, and we are delighted that we are able to use the University of Wolverhampton at The Halls again this year.

"Singing In The Halls is not just about vocal talents, it's a chance for pupils to come together, express themselves creatively, build confidence and celebrate our diverse city, creating lasting memories in a supportive setting. We can't wait."

The concerts will be led by Paul Wilcox, vocal strategy partner for the Music Service, and vocalists will be accompanied by the service band.
