| Performance Notes | Celebrate 40 years of National Youth Choir of Great Britain at this special evening, featuring over 1,000 singers, fabulous music and a few surprises. The programme will put our young musicians centre stage, showcasing the current choirs and alumni, to celebrate four decades and look towards the future.
Music will include an innovative performance of Thomas Tallis Spem in alium, sung by past and present choir members, familiar favourites reflecting NYCGBs past repertoire and the world premiere of a newly-commissioned 40-part work by Artistic Director and Principal Conductor Ben Parry. Whether you have connections with NYCGB or are discovering us for the first time, this will be a unique and joyful celebration of youth choral singing.
