Leeds Schools Music Association's Christmas Festival Concert!

I finished the day yesterday at the Town Hall for the Leeds Schools Music Association's Christmas Festival Concert 2011.

It was a wonderful celebration of our young people with over 500 young performers and some older ones producing some great singing and playing. The Festival Choir of around 300 children was drawn from 46 Leeds primary schools and they were simply magic! The City of Leeds Youth Orchestra numbering over eighty talented young music were brilliant. The Leeds Youth Choir, Leeds Schools' Choir and the Leeds Children's Choir sang beautifully and Flutes Leeds were amazing. The Staff Choir, which gets bigger every year, numbering over seventy bigger people also sang really well. The conductor and compere for the evening was Dougie Scarfe and for the packed house, and colleagues from Jessie's Fund, the concert marked the beginning of Christmas.
