Young voices came back to Utilita arena in Sheffield on Tuesday.
The harmonic sound of choral sung to a wide range of foot-stomping popular songs such as: Walking On The Sunshine, Dance The Night and Crazy What Love Can Do and was the perfect family concert to sing and dance your heart out with loved ones.
The choir also tackled classic genres like: jazz, 90s rave, rap, hiphop, musical theatre (such as Moana and Matilda) and even the twist on Arirang, Korean folk song.
Young Voices is the biggest children’s choir, with a collection of thousands of children from various schools across the world.
You could see each small individual singing and dancing their little hearts out as they belted out Coldplay’s Sky ‘Full Of Stars‘ that is truly what the arena was full of.
The children perform with talented musicians and get their own little moment to shine. This year the children performed with Nandi Bushell, an amazing 13 year old drummer who showed her impressive drumming skills that are way ahead of her age.
MC Grammar had the children going wild with his educational hip-hop style raps, accompanied by the awesome dancers popping and locking to his songs about the value of reading and many more talented artists.
Each child goes through months of rehearsals to learn the various songs chosen by Musical Director Craig Mcleish. It’s a feel-good show where children can learn confidence, musicality, to perform and work as part of something bigger than them.
Young Voices has had children perform with famous artists such as Alexandra Burke, Gary Barlow and in its first year 1992 with Tom Jones.
Young Voices has previously performed concerts in Sheffield, Manchester, Birmingham, Belfast, Cape Town, London and Vatican City. The choirs range from 4,500 to 8,500 children all performing to an arena full of parents, family and friends.
The children are accompanied by a full live orchestra and talented young dancers. They were led by renowned Conductor David Lawrence making it a symphonic masterpiece.
