The Deputy Lady Mayoress and I opened a superb event at the CBSO Centre recently. Soundcity 10 is a wonderful showcase of the gifted and talented young people in the world of music from Birmingham schools from throughout the city.
We very much enjoyed seeing and hearing the outstanding musicians, singers and performers from 23 schools who lined up to entertain. There were some stunning performances across a huge range and which were a tribute to the performers, our fine Music Service and the CBSO.
So I would like to thank everyone involved including the City Council’s Arts Education and Music Service, The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Blue Whale Studios and all of the gifted and talented co-ordinators in Birmingham Schools.
And we must certainly not forget to mention and thank all of the equally committed young people who worked as apprentice lighting, sound and stage crew, at front of house and as very professional comperes. We are proud of them all.
Neither professional nor amateur performances are possible without their most valuable contribution - it takes a whole team of dedicated and capable people to make any performance work well.
We had a wonderful evening of music that inspired, impressed and moved us and we wish everyone involved all the best for the future. Do get along next year if you can.
