About the event
£2.50
Vocalise! is The Bach Choir’s community engagement programme in which we share the joy of singing in London classrooms. Every year, we run 20–30 singing workshops in our local London schools where opportunities for regular group singing and performance are limited. These workshops provide a valuable shared musical experience for the children and The Bach Choir, and they culminate in the Vocalise! Summer Concert, where we get to see and hear the joyful results.
The Bach Choir began its life in 1876 with the UK premiere of Bach’s B minor Mass, and on our 150th Anniversary we’re continuing the tradition with a very special premiere from Stephanie Jayne Amies entitled The Swifts of Summer.
The performance will be the culmination of a year’s work by children from three London schools – Ark White City, Wilberforce, and Flora Gardens. The Bach Choir will join the children on this musical journey, too.
