600 children from 40 schools across Cornwall came together to create a massed choir especially for the Cornwall Music Education Hub’s series of five Songfest concerts which were held in four different venues across Cornwall in March.

 The concerts, which took place in the Hall for Cornwall, Princess Pavilions, Chapel Street Methodist Church in Penzance and Launceston Town Hall, were part of a programme organised by the Cornwall Music Education Hub to raise awareness of the range of young vocal talent in Cornwall and to encourage young people to get involved in singing. 

 Organised by the Cornwall Music Education Hub’s Vocal Strategy Lead, Angela Renshaw, the project saw the children learning the same piece of music called Ocean Commotion, a children’s musical about life in the sea with a colourful cast of characters.  Each evening ended with a rousing rendition of the Disney favourite, ‘Under the Sea’.
