| National Children’s Choir of Great Britain’s Senior Choir performing in Bromsgrove in 2024 |
The National Children’s Choir of Great Britain’s (NCCGB) Senior Choir will perform a free lunchtime concert in St John’s Church, Bromsgrove on Wednesday 6 August 2025. The concert is at 2.30pm and audience members can simply turn up. Dan Ludford-Thomas, NCCGB’s Musical Director, conducts a programme designed to showcase the versatility of the choir.
The programme includes music from Josquin and Schutz, to Mozart and Debussy, plus contemporary pieces by Cecilia McDowall and Carl Rütti, gospel choir songs and even an arrangement of Starlight by the French electronic music producer The Superman Lovers.
Children accepted into NCCGB participate in two courses per year, intensive weeks of singing. The NCCGB choirs sing a wide range of diverse repertoire and members learn choral discipline, musicality, vocal techniques and practical skills such as taking care of their voice. They also receive one-on-one singing lessons with a singing teacher. There are performance opportunities in public concerts in prestigious venues in the UK, and on choral tours abroad.
Auditions are held every Autumn for entry into the next year. Audition dates for 2025 will be announced later this Summer.
The Bromsgrove concert falls just days before all 200 voices of all four of NCCGB’s choirs take to the stage at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire for their annual Summer Concert (Saturday 9 August, 3.30pm). Tickets for this concert may be booked via the Conservatoire’s website.
