Pupils and families from across the country are invited take part in our Virtual Big Sing 2020!
Following the success of the Big Sing in 2018 and our first ‘Virtual’ Big Sing in 2019, we have partnered with Charanga, NYMAZ and artist Rebecca Osborne to bring an interactive, digital concert to every young person in the country.
We have selected a list of songs and online resources for families and school groups of all ages to rehearse using Charanga, and everyone is invited to tune in and join us for the exciting live event. Resources will be available from Monday 18 May.
Norfolk Music Hub has enlisted a little help from some well-known friends to help you find your voice!
Our Music Maestro
We are delighted to announce that our vocal leader for this event is Mark De-Lisser and he will be assisted by some celebrity singers! You may remember Mark De-Lisser from our Big Sing in 2018. Mark also arranged Ben E King’s performance of Stand By Me for the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in 2018, as well as performing in the choir on the day.
