Choral Outreach
Monday, 24th November 2008
Pupils of the Minster School, junior choir and choristers, joined with the pupils of three local primary schools in a concert which marked the climax of this term's choral partnership project.
Pupils of English Martyrs' Primary, Acomb Primary and Stamford Bridge Primary have been working with Minster School Director of Music, Alison Forster and choral coach, Liz Lightfoot. The project is part of the national SingUp campaign in which a number of cathedral schools share their expertise with other schools in their local communities.
The audience was treated to a spirited performance by over three hundred primary school children, who were also supported by the Minster's choristers, (directed by Robert Sharpe and accompanied by David Pipe).
The concert was directed by Alison Forster and was watched by almost a thousand people.
