A group of our Intermediate and Senior Choir singers took part in a very special recording with Aurora Orchestra. The singers rehearsed and performed alongside the orchestral players for a recording of two new commissions for Aurora Orchestra’s new project ‘Aurora Classroom’, which offers a library of music resources aimed to support exciting music-making in primary schools. Our singers not only had a wonderful day rehearsing and recording with excellent musicians but also loved contributing to a rich musical programme that will be enjoyed by many young learners.

Girlguiding Celebrates
The Intermediate Choir singers were invited to take part in ‘Girlguiding celebrates’ at the ODEON Luxe cinema in Leicester Square. It was a red-carpet event, supporting celebrations for Girlguiding volunteers that had achieved special awards for their amazing volunteering work. Our Intermediate Choir singers, some of whom are dedicated Brownies, had a fun time performing, with songs including Bob Chilcott’s ‘Red Boots On’, ‘Who Will Buy?’ from Oliver!, and ‘Hushabye Mountain’ from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
The Singing Tree with Birmingham Contemporary Music Group
A group of FCMG Senior Choir singers took centre stage in the world premiere of Christian Mason’s The Singing Tree at Birmingham Town Hall. Alongside world-class soloists from Neue Vocalsolisten Stuttgart and 25 professional instrumentalists, it was a privilege for our singers to perform this substantial new work. The performance was recorded by the BBC and was featured on Radio 3’s New Music Show.
