Take 19 vibrant young people between the ages of 11 and 18, put them on the stage and give them a list of songs and some very creative choreography, and it's a wonderful concert. The performers are all part of Sarah's Singing Studio, and they showed their many talents at our local theatre yesterday.
It's the Summer Vocal Outreach Initiative, a volunteer based programme that gives the music students an opportunity to perform for an audience, especially for a senior audience. The young people are performing at eight different senior residences in the area and certainly create moments of shared joy and reflection.
Songs ranged from top of the pops of the 1950s all the way to the 2020s, finishing with an emotional "One Day More" from Les Mis. The concert was a full hour of non-stop music and colour and fun, and those kids could really sing!
There was even a visit from the Backstreet Boys. I spoke to some of the kids after the show, they were full of smiles and so excited and happy to be part of this event. Well done everyone, this was a marvellous concert, and it had everyone in the theatre tapping their feet. Good luck to all those talented young people... follow your dreams and keep singing!
...keep making music.
ReplyDeleteLooks like they were giving it their all! A wonderful concert for the audience!
ReplyDeleteKeep singing is right! Song and the arts are joyful acts that bring us together. :)

Shame you didn't get up on stage to join in Shammickite! I bet you do a mean impression of Lulu singing "Shout!".
ReplyDeleteI'm a Lulu lookalike!

ReplyDeleteI bet a program like tgat would get popular here! The joy they have in singing is apparent in your photos.
