College choir sings in international concert
ANTICIPATION and excitement resided in 20 lucky students from Witchford Village College that were chosen to sing in the production of Peace Child Alpha Omega which took part on the 30th January at 7:30pm at the Ely cathedral.
After weeks of practising and being coached by Mr Berthon, head of music and Mr Parnell, who was organizing the music for this performance, these students sat at the centre of this event singing to over 180 people.
Other participants in the concert included Ely Choral Society, Southfields Primary School, a number of singers from Turkey and Estonia, professional actors and Gemma Craven who narrated the story.
Skye, a student involved, said to press club, “It was great fun and an amazing and unmissable experience as it was the first time I had sung to such a big audience.”
The story revolved around four teenagers trapped in the cathedral during a bomb scare who discussed the problems of the world and their own attitude to faith. One other member of the choir said, “It was a unique opportunity to bring together children and adults in what was both a celebration of music and song and a thoughtful introduction to matters of importance to the whole world.”
Peace Child has been performed in countries all over the world and Witchford Village College was proud to be a part of this international event.
