HACKNEY SCHOOLS SING
"Eye-opening, fun & amazing!"
Pupil
Hackney Schools Sing invited young people from the Borough and surrounding areas to join together for a day to sing alongside our professional orchestra, Wyatt Sinfonia, and talented vocal soloists. It was a jam-packed day with rehearsals led by professional singers, Lydia, Lucy, Angelo and Ollie, and Wyatt Sinfonia's Artistic Director, Zoë Kundu, and an insightful Q&A with our orchestra members. The result was a thrilling concert performance of Karl Jenkins' Symphonic Adiemus in front of an audience of family, friends and the local community.
Who: Over 150 young people, four vocal soloists & orchestra of Wyatt Sinfonia
​
What: Symphonic Adiemus by Karl Jenkins, for choir and orchestra
When: 6 March 2024
Where: EartH (Evolutionary Arts Hackney)
Our singers came from the following schools and organisations: City of London Academy Shoreditch Park, Hackney Choral, Hackney New Primary School, Mossbourne Victoria Park Academy, The Urswick School and Wapping High School.
