It’s the start of the summer holidays and I’m sitting here with my laptop – singing Christmas carols. Why, you might be thinking? December 6th is going to be something special for our school trust in Yorkshire. Seven of our 25 schools and over 100 of our children will be performing with the Gabrieli Consort & Players at York Minster, appearing as part of a 300-plus choir.

The event forms part of the Gabrieli Roar Christmas tour. For those unfamiliar with Gabrieli Roar, it is a partnership between the Consort and a network of diverse British youth choirs. Led by artistic director Paul McCreesh, the initiative combines professionals and young singers, developing skills and nurturing a love of choral music.
