Blue Spark Foundation

BlueSpark provided funding for Skelton Primary School from Saltburn in North Yorkshire to take their choir comprising 44 children to the Royal Festival Hall to participate in workshops with professional composers before performing in front of an audience. This was part of a music project with other schools in the north-east of England. The performance was live streamed to many other schools throughout the country. Some of the children taking part had never left their home town before. The school told us that “all their expectations were met and so much more ! The children gained so many life skills and will probably never have such an opportunity again in their childhood. The children who took part are now more confident young people. They want to be at the front of the group and perform on their own. The whole choir has grown in size and strength since the trip.”
