Over 250 young singers wow the crowds

A sunny afternoon in September saw a massed choir perform on New Road as part of the Pitch Perfect festival to welcome the Rugby World Cup to Brighton.

2 Secondary schools and 9 Primary Schools were involved in the creation of a new work celebrating the strength and resilience of our Rugby Superheroes. Lyrics, melodies and actions created by young composers from local schools were arranged by James Redwood into “Shining Brighter” which also included body percussion inspired by the world of Rugby. The two performances on the Brighton & Hove Music & Arts stage involved over 250 young singers, accompanied by the Brighton & Hove Youth Big Band. They wowed the massive crowd with their energy, musical excellence and enthusiasm!
