This has been a jam packed summer for NCCGB. We have all worked hard making lots of amazing music, but with a lot of fun along the way. We have all loved every minute.

Senior Choir Recital in Bromsgrove

Future Talent recording
Those in Senior Choir who were not going on tour, also had the opportunity to do some recording, for the upcoming Future Talent 20th Anniversary album. We are working in partnership with Future Talent, a charity that exists to remove the barriers to making music that are faced by some young people. We were delighted that they invited us to participate in this project.
Summer concert
The entire choir gave a spine tingling performance to a packed-out concert hall at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire on 3rd August.
Tour to Germany
We had a successful tour to Berlin and Dresden, our first international tour following the pandemic. It was a lot of fun, having the opportunity to sing, sightsee, try German food and try out our German! Tour Choir were wonderful ambassadors for NCCGB. It was such a special experience for us all. The choir gave 4 concerts, all in beautiful venues, including the Brandenburg Cathedral. They received a standing ovation at every concert. The final concert was a joint concert with our friends in the Children’s Philharmonic Choir Dresden, a very fitting way to end the week.
