We recently had the opportunity to attend a performance of SCORE! a new commission from composer Tim Steiner with words from Ian McMillan. This was a huge open-air production by nearly 5,000 children from all over the country.
The performance was both highly enjoyable and inspiring and took place at the ground of Birmingham City FC and was part of the 2010 national Festival of Music for Youth - the 40th anniversary festival.
This enormous event involves no less than 160 cities, towns and villages across the country. Around 14,000 young instrumentalists take part along with 3,000 singers!
In Birmingham alone there are other festival performances at the Town Hall, Birmingham Conservatoire, the CBSO Centre, Symphony Hall, Brindley Place and the O2 Academy.
Terrific stuff! And thank you to all who took part yesterday and to Music for Youth and Birmingham Music Service for what was a truly outstanding event.
