Tickets are now on sale for a series of Christmas concerts showcasing some of the best young musicians and singers in Stoke-on-Trent.
The City Songbirds Christmas Concerts will take place at the Victoria Hall, Hanley on Monday 24 November and Tuesday 25 November at 6:45pm.
They will feature hundreds of City Songbirds (aged 5-8) performing alongside City Music Service ensembles – either the City Youth Wind Orchestra (Monday) or the City Youth String Orchestra (Tuesday).
The City Voices at Christmas concert will take place on Wednesday 3 December, also at the Victoria Hall at 6.45pm. The concert features hundreds of young singers, including the City Youth Choir, performing alongside the Thursdays – a rock and pop band.
The City Music Service, run by Stoke-on-Trent City Council, gives children the chance to develop their musical skills and perform together in public concerts.
These festive performances will also mark the conclusion of the service’s SOT100 series of events celebrating 100 years since Stoke-on-Trent was granted city status.
Kelvin the Kiln, the city’s much-loved Centenary mascot, will also be making an appearance at the concerts.
Councillor Sarah Jane Colclough, cabinet member for children’s services at Stoke-on-Trent City Council, said: “These concerts are a great platform for the amazing musical talent we have across the city, so there is no better to start the Christmas celebrations, while also marking our Centenary. Kelvin was incredibly popular at the last concerts and I’m sure families will love seeing him again.
“It’s fantastic to be able to give so many talented youngsters the opportunity to perform and I cannot wait to see them in action. I encourage everyone to get your tickets now, you won’t be disappointed.”
