Children sing up in concert at cathedral
MORE than 100 talented primary schoolchildren packed Peterborough Cathedral this week to showcase their new-found singing skills.
MORE than 100 talented primary schoolchildren packed Peterborough Cathedral this week to showcase their new-found singing skills.Featuring pupils from six different city schools, the concert featured music which they had learned after signing up to The Sing Up scheme in March.
The scheme involved a group of cathedral choristers taken into the schools to sing with their children and teach them important new singing skills.
The concert attracted about 400 proud parents and teaching staff, and the final performance was a success.
Director of music for Peterborough Cathedral Andrew Reid said: ‘‘We very much enjoyed taking the choristers to six local schools and working with the children on this project.
“Their enthusiasm for singing was clear at the concert last night, and I hope that some of them will want to take their singing further.”
The first part of this scheme has ended this term, but provided further funding is obtained from the Government next year, the cathedral hopes to roll this out to other schools in the new academic school year.
