Friday 2 February 2024 Young Voices Last week our incredible School Choir attended Young Voices 2024, hosted at London's iconic O2 arena. Young Voices, a global movement of children's choirs, brings together children from around the world to perform in some of the grandest arenas, spreading the joy of music far and wide. Students immersed in the sheer power of music was a sight to behold. As our choir sang their hearts out alongside thousands of other voices, it was evident how music has the ability to uplift spirits and unite hearts. Among the energetic performances, there was laughter and joy as some of us "old timers" attempted to keep up with the youngsters on the dance floor. It was a beautiful moment of bonding and camaraderie that will be cherished forever.
