In this World Cup year, we will be performing ‘Perfect Pitch’, a selection of fun football-themed songs by composer Malcolm Singer, setting the rhythmically inventive and entertaining poems of Nick Toczek and incorporating fun body percussion and obligatory football chanting!
This very special event will bring together a massed children’s choir of over 1600 singers from more than eighteen of the county’s primary and secondary schools to sing alongside an orchestra of strings, piano and percussion, combining the forces of the Yehudi Menuhin School and the String Academy.
The event will be hosted by the Bernardi Music Group in association with the Yehudi Menuhin School and the String Academy, and supported by Arts Council England.
In the lead up to the event, Schools will come together for three big rehearsals led by choirmaster Mark Bradbury (Little Notes, Build an Opera) and composer/conductor Malcolm Singer. Children will rehearse the songs independently in school, and the project will culminate in a dress rehearsal and two performances at Charterhouse School.

This is a very special opportunity for children to collaborate with pupils from other local schools, professional musicians and sing with a spectacular orchestra!
