Junior Voices Project Concert

The Junior Voices Project Concert is the culmination of Gloucester Cathedral Singing Academy’s flagship schools singing programme. For the evening, more than 100 Key Stage 2 pupils from three schools across the county will fill Gloucester Cathedral’s magnificent Norman nave with song.

Over the last few weeks, the children have worked with our Cathedral musicians through a series of workshops and rehearsals in their own schools, learning the songs, and developing their musical skills, confidence and enjoyment of singing.

This evening’s performance is a celebration of that commitment and hard work, bringing these young singers together in the unique setting of Gloucester Cathedral before an audience of parents, carers, teachers and friends.

They are joined by members of Gloucester Cathedral Junior Choir, many of whom first discovered a love of singing through the Junior Voices Project themselves. Together, these young singers demonstrate the remarkable sound, energy and joy that can be achieved when young people are given the opportunity to sing and perform together on a grand scale. We hope that, for many, this experience will ignite a spark for singing that continues long after the echo of the final note has faded.

Assistant Director of Music (Choral), Nia Llewelyn Jones: ‘The JVP concerts are always incredibly special. To hear the sound of more than a hundred children filling this wonderful cathedral is incredibly special, and inspiring. No matter how many times I experience these performances, they still give me goosebumps! The audience experiences the final performance, but what makes it so especially meaningful is the dedication, enthusiasm and perseverance that have brought the children to this point. So, join us for a joyful evening of music that is sure to raise a smile and lift the spirits!’
