High Schools' Choir Festival with Norfolk Music Service banner

Norfolk Music Hub are delighted to invite you to join in with a Secondary Vocal Celebration (formerly known as High School Choir’s Festival)!

We are inviting all key stage 3 and 4 students across the county of Norfolk to register to join us for our Covid recovery, well-being celebration at St Andrew’s Hall. The programme has been put together to support teenagers with songs that they will recognise, encourage positivity and celebrate what an impact music can have in our lives.

The concert will also showcase a new piece written by Emily Barden and students from across Norfolk about the county we live in.

Norfolk Music Hub are delighted to be partnering with Emily Barden, Lee Gibling and Viking Sound and Lighting to deliver this exciting opportunity.
