500 York primary school children light up the Royal Albert Hall recently, performing 'Ode on the 350th Birthday of Mr Purcell’ to a packed audience at the Music for Youth Schools Prom.
The specially commissioned piece tells the story of Purcell’s life and the major events - including a representation of the fire of London complete with flags and brightly coloured T-shirts.
The project was the result of collaboration between the National Centre for Early Music, York, and Sing Up. Children from 11 primary schools across York performed.
