Join the remarkable teenage singers of National Youth Choir (15-18 Years) for a concert celebrating the beauty of our world and the myriad of cultures and peoples that inhabit it.
Be moved by Jacob Collier's powerful jazz anthem 'World O World', explore elemental soundscapes in Caroline Shaw's origami-inspired 'How to Fold the Wind' and journey somewhere new with Simon & Garfunkel's 'America'.
